Feedback
The teacher monitors students during the learning experiences and assessment opportunities through:
- observation of pair work
- discussion and questioning
- analysis of the students’ work samples.
The teacher monitors Sam’s use of coping strategies during the learning experiences and assessment opportunities.
The teacher provides specific feedback, such as:
- ‘You correctly placed the containers in order of increasing capacity. The order was different to the order you predicted.’
- ‘You estimated 100 mL by marking the cylinder. Look at the whiteboard. Remember that there should be 10 markings of 10 mL on the cylinder to estimate 100 mL.’
- ‘Great work Sam, you have marked the large measuring cylinder correctly.’
- ‘Sam, you used the small cylinder to find the capacity of this container. Given the size of the container, it would have been quicker to use the large measuring cylinder.’
Sam is provided with specific feedback when he returns each task card, eg ‘Great work Sam, you completed all four steps on the task card’. The teacher also provides Sam with feedback about his pair work, eg ‘Well done Sam, you are remembering to take turns’.
