Responding to Student Writing (audio style) - ProfHacker - The Chronicle of Higher Educ... - 2 views

  •  
    Responding to student writing in an effective and timely manner is important to student success. And we want students to succeed, to be good writers. However, students don't often expect to receive detailed and intricate feedback on their work; they expect to see the dreaded "red pen" marks. They assume that we don't really read their writing, that we give each page a cursory glance, and that we are only looking for spelling and grammatical errors. This implies-and the students believe-that "writing" is only "writing correctly." But writing is much more than that, and as professionals we understand this. We know that revision has a key role in the process of writing, but good revision requires good feedback.

      Interesting viewpoint of one successful high school graduate.
  •  
    "Last month, Erica Goldson graduated as valedictorian of Coxsackie-Athens High School. Instead of using her graduation speech to celebrate the triumph of her victory, the school, and the teachers that made it happen, she channeled her inner Ivan Illich and de-constructed the logic of a valedictorian and the whole educational system."
