High School Science

Example • Teacher provides an opportunity to respond • Student responds incorrectly • Teacher indicates that the response was not correct and provides an opportunity for correction • Student gives correct response • Teacher affirms that response was correct • Example: Teacher says, “Sam, tell me what 2+2 is.” (OTR) Sam gives an incorrect answer. Teacher says “No, that’s not quite right, let’s try again.” Sam tries again. Option A: If he gets it right, teacher says “Yes! 2+2 is 4. Good thinking!” Option B: If Sam still is incorrect, the teacher may move to other students to get to the correct answer. Once achieved, the teacher goes back to Sam. Teacher says, “Sam, what is 2+2? Sam gives the correct answer. Teacher says, “You got it! Excellent.” • Teacher provides an opportunity to respond • Student response is a partial response or could be expanded into a higher quality response • Teacher affirms response and provides guidance for expansion/ refinement • Student revises or elaborates upon previous response • Teacher acknowledges response as an improvement • Example: Teacher says, “Sam, tell me what 2+2 is.” (OTR) Sam says, “Oh, it’s 4.” Option A: Teacher says, “Perfect. Can you tell me what 4+5 is? Sam says “9.” Teacher says, “Yes! I knew you knew it!” Option B: Teacher says, “Perfect, can you tell me what 4+5 is?” “Sam shakes his head “No”, Teacher solicits ideas from other students then asks Sam to repeat the correct answer. Teacher says, “Yes, its 9. Good job.” • Teacher provides an opportunity to respond • Student response is fully correct • Teacher affirms student response and asks a more difficult question on the same topic as a follow up • Student answers • Teacher responds with positive or corrective feedback • Example: Teacher says, “Sam, tell me what 2+2 is.” (OTR) Sam says, “4.” Teacher says, “Correct, do you know what 20 + 20 is?” Sam says, "ummm, 40?” Teacher says, “You’re right, it is 40. Excellent!” FEEDBACK CYCLES Effect Size 0.75 Implementation Tools & Resources

Non-Example

• Teacher provides an opportunity to respond • Student responds incorrectly • Teacher indicates that the response was not correct, but does not provide another opportunity for the student to answer correctly • Teacher provides an opportunity to respond • Student response is a partial response or could be expanded into a higher quality response • Teacher affirms response, but does not provide guidance for expansion/ refinement • Teacher provides an opportunity to respond • Student response is fully correct • Teacher affirms student response, but does not ask a more difficult question on the same topic as a follow up
