FEEDBACK LOG for formative Assessment

Fall 2016
The feedback you provide to students on your scoring guides or verbally is important and critical in helping
students progress in their learning. Feedback should ALWAYS provide them with information about their strengths
and their weaknesses.
Students also do not automatically use the feedback of what you write or tell them. You will need to have
conversations with them each day to help them reflect on what you shared with them from the day before (metacognition). You can also think of concrete support that may help them to reflect on the feedback. (index card with a
reminder, poster, a string on their finger).
Though you are documenting your feedback for each individual lesson (whole class and 2 individual students) and
providing a short reflection on how you will help students use this feedback to continue on their path the next day
(see column 3 below), this is a practice that should be done for all effective teaching. So, make sure you remember
this for your unit as well. However, it will not be written up for your unit due to time constraints in grading the eportfolio,.

is written what you wrote it on (i.e.
rubric, rating scale, post it)

Day 1- Language Arts Read

Aloud and Writing Activity

I provided verbal feedback to

the students based off of the
students writing.
Child 1- responds well to verbal
feedback. Child 1 was given
verbal feedback to continue to
work on his writing and add
more details/adjectives to his
writing.
Child 2- Child 2 struggles to
write so I had him explain his
writing and his illustration to
me. The feedback I provided
was for him to practice writing
on the line and to try and sound
out the words as he wrote them.

Day 2- Social Studies Voting

Activity

Overall positive feedback was

provided to all students for the
social studies lesson. Each child
was assessed through a
checklist.

How would or will you

encourage students to use the
feedback?
I would conference with the
students weekly to check on
their progress and give
continued feedback to the
students. I would remind Child 1
to add more details to his
writing and I would work with
Child 2 on his writing and letter
cognition. I think weekly
conferences with the students
would help them remember
what they need to be working on
and improve. When I
conferenced with the students
weekly, I could go over different
writing with Child 1 and his
progress. Then, I could practice
letters with Child 2 to see how
he is progressing.
I made notes for all the students
on the checklist. Every one
received positive feedback for
the lesson.
I would encourage Child 1 to

Day 2: Math Pictograph Activity

Child 1- shared his answer to

the class even though he spoke
very quietly. On Child 1s
checklist, I gave him positive
feedback for speaking out in
front of the class. Even though
he was quiet, he still chose to
talk, which is not something he
chooses to do all the time.
Child 2- Struggled to glue his
pumpkin in the right area.
Overall these are both minor
issues that were noted on the
checklist that was filled out. On
Child 2s checklist, he got 2/3
checks. I had to check no if he
glued his pumpkin in the right
spot. I think he struggled to
connect the pumpkin he drew
with the three different options.
I would provide him verbal
feedback regarding the checklist
and how he can improve for in
the future.
The entire class completed exit
slips. Afterwards, the students
received feedback about the exit
slips. The feedback I gave to the
entire class was that they all did
a really good job and I know
that the exit slip was hard. I told
the class that we would continue
to work on activities such as this
so the students will better
understand the activity next
time.
For Child 1, I gave him
feedback about his addition
facts. Child 1 struggles with his
addition facts. Problems like
5+6, and 8+1, we have been
practicing for a long time and he
struggles with them. I would

continue to talk out in class and
to be more verbal. I would
encourage him to use this
feedback by giving him plenty
of opportunities to speak in front
of the class
I would just tell him that it is
important to double check our
work and pay more attention
because that is something Child
2 struggles with. I would
encourage the child to pay more
attention by frequently asking
him questions and checking on
him during lessons.

I would encourage students to

use this feedback by doing more
lessons on pictographs so they
have the opportunity to better
understand them.

For Child 1, I would provide

him with activities that he could
do at home to work on his
addition facts. I would write a
letter to his parents asking them
to help him practice so that he
can improve his addition facts. I

provide him feedback telling

him that he should practice his
addition facts.
For Child 2, I would tell him
that he worked very hard on the
activity but he needs to practice
his number recognition. Child 2
does not know all of his
numbers and definitely do not
know his addition facts.

Day 3- Science Lesson

The students were provided a

checklist after the lesson
regarding how they did during
the pumpkin planting activity,
the life cycle cut and paste, and
the three things pumpkin seeds
need to grow. The feedback
provided was mostly positive
because almost all of the
students completed everything
correctly. I told the students that
they all did a great job and
thanked them for working so
hard.
Child 1: I provided child 1 with
positive feedback about how he
completed the cut and paste
activity and about how he knew
the three things pumpkin seeds
need to grow. I told him that he
did a great job paying attention
during the read aloud.
Child 2: I provided feedback to
Child 2 that was mainly positive
on the checklist. He only
messed up one section of the life
cycle cut and paste but he still

would also try to assist the
student on his addition facts as
well and provide positive
feedback for his practicing and
improving on the facts.
I would help the student use this
feedback by providing with
materials and games he can play
at home and during free time for
number recognition. I would
teach the student to play the
games and would play the
games with him. Afterwards, I
would send the games home so
the student could continue to
practice.
I would encourage the students
to use this feedback by asking
them to work this hard during
every lesson. I would remind
students of the excellent work
that they did and how much they
learned. I would encourage
students to try their best just like
they did for this activity.
Child 1-I would encourage child
1 to continue to work hard. I
would tell him he did a great
job with the activity.

Child 2- I would tell Child 2 that

he did a great job and worked
very hard on the activity. I
would encourage him to slow
down when he is working and
pay more attention. I would
make a little checklist for him to
glue to his desk reminding him
to pay attention to his work and
take his time. I would also

ways that he could pay more
