Feedback
The teacher monitors students during the learning experiences and assessment opportunities through:
- observation of group work and students’ responses to teacher instructions
- discussion and questioning
- analysis of the students’ work samples.
Tier 1
The teacher provides Sarah with immediate oral feedback, eg ‘Good, your hand is on the camera’, paired with a gesture to the object or reference point.
Tier 2
The teacher provides specific feedback, such as:
- ‘That is a great description! William is behind the bench.’
- ‘Your description for this photograph says that Cho is behind the tree. Cho is in front of the tree. The tree is behind Cho.’ The teacher models the positional language ‘behind’ using objects.
Tier 3
The teacher provides specific feedback, such as:
- ‘Well done! The toilets are between the hall and the canteen.’
- ‘Your directions say to turn left after the toilet block to get to the playground. If I took this route, using your model I would get to the office, not the playground. The directions should say to turn right after the toilet block.’
