1. Providing Evidence Based Feedback to Improve Student Work Presented by: Kelly Philbeck kelly.philbeck@education.ky.gov www.kellyphilbeck.com

2. A key premise of effective feedback is that for students to be able to improve, they must have the capacity to monitor the quality of their own work during its actual production. Students must: ▫Know what high quality work looks like. ▫Be able to objectively compare their work to the standard. ▫Have a store of tactics to make work better based on their observations. Sadler, 1989, p.119 (Formative assessment and the design of instructional systems)

3. Instructional systems which do not make explicit provision for the acquisition of evaluative expertise are deficient, because they set up artificial but potentially removable performance ceilings for students. -Sadler

5. Knowing Quality Work Instruction: We must provide students with: ▫Mentor Texts ▫Writer’s Craft ▫Close Reading ▫Modeling/Samples

6. Analyzing Writer’s Craft Claim It! Quote/ Evidence from Text Name It! What strategy/ technique is used? Frame It! Author’s Purpose Where have I seen this technique used before? Where/How can I use this technique in my writing?

7. Compare Work to Standard Instruction: We must provide students with: ▫Clear learning targets ▫Modeling Proficient Work ▫Specific Rubrics/Scoring Criteria ▫Build students’ application of effective writing/responding criteria to independence ▫Live Scoring!!

8. Store of Tactics Instruction: We must arm students with SPECIFIC tools to prepare their writing to meet their audience’s needs. ▫What is “evidence”? ▫What are “details”? ▫How can I “Be More Specific”? ▫Focused feedback/focused Revision

9. Analyzing Student Work PLC Work ▫Tuning Protocol to:  Analyze prompt  Analyze student work  Analyze instructional implications  Issues with process? ▫Reading the Question? ▫Formatting?  Issues with content? ▫Idea Development? ▫Content Vocabulary?
