what i see
suggestions
questions
Here is where you observe
No judgement
I prefer point form
Sometimes I do mention things I don't see
This isn't about what you like or don't like
be literal
be descriptive
be metaphorical
I typically phrase suggestions one of two ways
For things they do well, I suggest that they "continue to ..."
For things they could improve on
I suggest that they "consider next time to ..."
Again, I prefer point-form
Here is where I ask insightful questions
to encourage my students to reflect upon their learning
stay away from questions that have one word answers
or have right or wrong answers
The whole idea is to invoke thoughtfulness
applications
you can use this as:
a teacher assessment
student self-assessment
student peer assessment
a teacher's self assessment of an exemplar
a guide for your two-way verbal conversations
or a guide for one-way written comments
here is how i replace grading
