A Toolset for the Evaluation of Feedback Practices
This spreadsheet provides you with several tools:
- Student perceptions of feedback practices: This has a range of measures to diagnose the current level and frequency of feedback practices in your school, and to help in considering the where to next for you and your teams
- Teacher reflection tool: How do our teachers use feedback? And, how does it inform their practice? This tool will help answer these questions
- Observation Checklist: With many of you I discussed the environmental conditions that support feedback practices and this checklist will support reflections during learning walks and in planning. I would be explicit if using these, and share these pre-conditions with your teachers
- Feedback coding framework: Some schools have started with considering how teaching staff conceptualise ‘feedback’, with staff individually responding to this question using post-it notes, or ‘tweet’ activities. This coding scale will assist you in quantifying the overall staff conception of feedback by allocating frequencies to a number of keywords. In doing this, you may need to interpret and classify responses accordingly.
- Note: You may have similar tools already in place, or choose to modify / alter these. What is important however that you have some sort of measure for what is happening. We will use the same measure post-intervention to evaluate our impact.
