developing questions learning

  • Although essential questions are powerful advance organizers and curriculum drivers, the problem is that the essential questions are typically developed by the educator not the learners.

    Teachers have known for a long time that, in many ways, the learning outcomes can only be as advanced as the essential question that drives the learning. Maybe it takes a certain professional confidence, or a firm belief in your students, to hand over control of that important step.

    Hi Aaron, this is great food for thought. do you know of wiggins & mctighe model? they have a great method of determining, arriving at, and ultimately crafting these questions. it would be an interesting step to craft them in conjunction with the students. thanks, garth.

feedback assessment Wiggins formative

  • Expert coaches uniformly avoid overloading performers with too much or too technical information. They tell the performers one important thing they noticed that, if changed, will likely yield immediate and noticeable improvement ("I was confused about who was talking in the dialogue you wrote in this paragraph"). They don't offer advice until they make sure the performer understands the importance of what they saw.
  • I say "in most cases" to allow for situations like playing a piano piece in a recital. I don't want my teacher or the audience barking out feedback as I perform. That's why it is more precise to say that good feedback is "timely" rather than "immediate."

  • eedback is often used to describe all kinds of comments made after the fact, including advice, praise, and evaluation
  • Whether the feedback was in the observable effects or from other people, in every case the information received was not advice,
  • Guidance would be premature; I first need to receive feedback on what I did or didn't do that would warrant such advice.
  • Whether feedback is just there to be grasped or is provided by another person,
  • Formative assessment, consisting of lots of feedback and opportunities to use that feedback, enhances performance and achievement
  • Decades of education research support the idea that by teaching less and providing more feedback, we can produce greater learning
  • Whether feedback is just there to be grasped or is provided by another person, helpful feedback is goal-referenced; tangible and transparent; actionable; user-friendly (specific and personalized); timely; ongoing; and consistent.
  • feedback is information about how we are doing in our efforts to reach a goal.
  • by teaching less and providing more feedback, we can produce greater learning
  • The most ubiquitous form of evaluation, grading, is so much a part of the school landscape that we easily overlook its utter uselessness as actionable feedback.
