Feedback is how students feel seen and supported. When we give feedback as students work, we signal that the work they are doing is important, and we care about their progress. Teachers want to give students timely, focused, and actionable feedback, yet it is easy to neglect. Peer Feedback Choice Board.

Rubrics identify specific criteria relevant to the assignment, along with corresponding levels of performance that allow for more precise grading. When teachers provide students with the rubric at the start of any assignment or task that will be assessed, the rubric serves as a roadmap. How does using rubrics benefit students?

Identifying the Needs of English Learners English learners (ELs) have unique needs requiring targeted instructional approaches to support their language acquisition and academic success. Because ELs come from diverse linguistic backgrounds, their English language skills may vary widely.

I encouraged teachers to stop taking grading home for two simple reasons: Grading in isolation robs us of the opportunity to have conversations with students as we assess their work and, ultimately, makes feedback one-sided and less effective. They want to know exactly how I have managed that as a high school English teacher.

This year I transitioned from teaching English classes in isolation to co-teaching English, science, and technology with another teacher in a pilot program called N.E.W. She is only in her second year of teaching and she is credentialed in English and science. We approach feedback and assessment as a team.

When I facilitate training sessions or coach teachers, I encourage them to shift feedback and assessment into the classroom where student progress can be an ongoing conversation. Too often, teachers assign work that students complete in isolation. Then they collect that work and grade it in isolation.

Now, I get to experience how Google Classroom makes it easier to communicate with students, manage student work and provide meaningful feedback. Keeler and Libbi cover everything from going paperless to organizing assignments to collecting data. I annotated my copy because I am a nerdy English teacher!
