FEEDBACK LOG for Formative Assessment

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 (meta-
cognition). 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 e-
portfolio.

something they really love.

Student #1- The student grasped

rounding pretty quickly compared
to his peers, so I provided him with
verbal feedback on his participation
in the class by saying “buddy I love
how much you are helping me out,
you are like the second teacher!”.
On his work on google classroom I
posted another voice recording
using Vocaroo saying he was doing
amazing and to keep up the good
work and that this will help him
when we move onto the next topic
in math.

Student #2- For this student I

provided her with writing feedback
on her work in Google Classroom.
There is a space for private
comments. I told her she looks like
she understands rounding to the
nearest ten, but we need to do some
more practice on rounding to the
nearest 100 and that it’s okay it is a
really tricky idea to get down.

Student #2- During the lesson the

student seemed to understand the
different between a fact and
opinion. Yet, on their writing they
did not use the phrases we talked
about that signaled they were
giving their opinion. So, on their
private comments I wrote, “You
have such wonderful ideas to better

use our signal phrases when we are
giving our opinion. For example,
“In my opinion, putting up gardens
would make my community better.”
