Best Practices
Critical Components
● Student’s asking for feedback for a specifc purpose ● Peer writing groups ● Students who receive feedback through classroom discussion improve their outcomes (Hattie .82 effect size) ● Review student work while they are engaged in the writing process to gather formative data ● Allow time for students to practice during class and to engage in a feedback cycle about their writing decisions ● Best drafts are for grading; feedback needs to be given before grading. ● Limit comments to one or two suggestions that might help the student make the writing better.
Regularly engage in student writing conferences
Ensure students receive feedback in the midst of drafting
Feedback on a best draft is limited.
