Almost 8 years down the track, experimented with lots of different ways, and many PLD sessions later. I have discovered a few things about feedback, it has to be:
- timely - given in the moment but also enough time for them to act on it
- focused - linked to what they're learning/doing to give it meaning, to push them to do more either to extend further or to rise to meet the expectation
- verbal - having 1:1 conversation with the child, I can gain better understanding of what they are doing, if there are gaps or a need to push. With that they also need time to be able to act upon it, usually they are back before I know it for further discussion.
NOTE: to indicate that I have had a conversation with the child or sited their work, I sign and date it for a record for me and the child. I either make anecdotal notes and/or remember what we talked about. Usually sessions follow each other so this is not hard to do. - Google Comments - when the children submit a piece to me I am able to highlight a section and leave a comment, they are able to reply to it and we can have an open dialogue about their learning
- question - when addressing the learning I ask them questions, getting them to think further about what they're doing or why they did what they did
