Author, Jan Chappuis carefully explains how to give feedback to students. The question, "How Am I Doing?" is a natural and important one. Our administrators ask the same thing. How are my 3rd graders doing? 4th graders? and so on. Chappuis quoted a 2001 study that found that only one-third of 131 studies examined did feedbak improve learning. So what's wrong? Chappius states that the giving of feedback isn't the cause, it's the acting on feedback that determines how much students learn.
This is an important lesson for us as we hold our 1:1 data chats about and our conversations with kids about their MAP RIT scores. What have you learned after reading this article? How might your conversations change? Please share your remarks with your colleagues. They will help others.
