FEEDBACK LOG for Formative Assessment

Fall 2016
The feedback you provide to students on your scoring guides or verbally is important and critical in helping students
progress in their learning. Feedback should ALWAYS provide them with information about their strengths and their
weaknesses.
Students also do not automatically use the feedback of what you write or tell them. You will need to have
conversations with them each day to help them reflect on what you shared with them from the day before (metacognition). You can also think of concrete support that may help them to reflect on the feedback. (index card with a
reminder, poster, a string on their finger).
Though you are documenting your feedback for each individual lesson (whole class and 2 individual students) and
providing a short reflection on how you will help students use this feedback to continue on their path the next day
(see column 3 below), this is a practice that should be done for all effective teaching. So, make sure you remember
this for your unit as well. However, it will not be written up for your unit due to time constraints in grading the eportfolio,.

Lesson Day

Feedback Provided

Provide the day and content

State if it is oral or written and if it

is written what you wrote it on (i.e.
rubric, rating scale, post it)

Example

DAY 1-Math

Oral feedback was given during

the activity to guide the students
through the lesson.
Student # 1- The student
benefits from oral feedback
because she is a verbal learner.

Day 2-LA

How would or will you

encourage students to use the
feedback?

Student # 2- The student

received extra assistance during
the lesson. I often reminded him
to use two fingers when moving
beads, and verbally counted
with him to get to the correct
number. The extra assistance
helped him complete the
activity.
The students were observed by a
rubric. The students received
verbal feedback during the
lesson.
Student # 1- This student is a
verbal learner, so I gave her
verbal feedback on how she was

The students used this feedback

to complete the activity. When
giving feedback, they both
listened and responded with
comments that applied to the
activity. Continuing to use
verbal feedback in the rest of the
lessons will be important for the
students, due to their inability to
read comments written on
rubrics and checklists.

The students will be encouraged

to use the verbal feedback they
have been given while doing the
sort on the next day. The
students will be reminded of the

questions.

feedback they received today,
during the lesson tomorrow.

Student # 2- The student

received positive feedback and
guidance through the lesson.
I provided written feedback on a
checklist after verbal feedback
was given during a picture sort.
Student # 1- The checklist was
effective for this student because
it involved questioning and
direct interaction with her. This
student shows evidence of being
a verbal learner. She was able to
share her thoughts and ideas
aloud.
Student # 2- This student is a
below grade level learner.
During the activity, I made sure
to provide him with positive
verbal feedback to boost his
confidence. This student
benefitted from the verbal
feedback that he received during
the checklist.
A rubric was used for the
teacher to assess the students
work of a fill in the blank.
Student # 1- The student
received verbal feedback from
the rubric from the teacher. The
student was able to talk about
each sense with the teacher
individually to assess if the
student understood the content.
Student # 2- This student
received verbal feedback from
the teacher after being

The first students will be

encouraged to use the feedback
on the sort she will be
completing in day 4 of the
lessons.

Student 2 will be encouraged

positively during day 4 of the
lessons to participate in the
activity. Giving him the
reassurance to become actively
engaged, may promote him to
become more involved in class.

I will encourage the first student

to use the 5 senses to describe
other objects in her everyday
life. The concept of the 5 senses
can be integrated into lessons
for the other content areas to
strengthen the knowledge of the
senses.

I will encourage the second

student to use the feedback in
order to use his scissors

sticker on the smaller hole of his
scissors to remind him that one
thumb goes into that hole.
