Feedback CONTENT can be EFFECTIVE or INEFFECTIVE:
• Ineffective Descriptive Feedback – Irrelevant– General– Delayed– Overwhelming

Utilizing Descriptive Feedback in Science:
• Science notebooks• Homework assignments• Science Projects (Ongoing)• Reports• Research Papers• Performance Task Items• Presentations

Descriptive Feedback Sample 1: “I love the chart that starts with trees and ends up at the recycling plant (instead of back at more trees). It follows the relevant section of your report and illustrates the complete cycle so clearly! How did you come up with that idea? “

Effective Descriptive Feedback addresses both cognitive and motivational factors.
• Cognitive factors: Corrective feedback gives specific information students can use. It focuses on their strengths and ways to improve.
• Motivational factors: Once the students feel they understand what to do and why, a sense of control is developed.

How will you know if your feedback was effective?
• Your students learn; their work improves.
• Your students become more motivated; they believe they can learn, want to learn and take more control over their own learning.
• Your classroom becomes a place where feedback is valued and viewed as productive.

So, how can we give descriptive feedback that is informational as well as
motivational?

Descriptive Feedback Strategies
05/03/23 15
Descriptive Feedback Strategy #1
Model both giving and using feedback:• Use think-aloud activities so students see how revisions
are made and why• Create a classroom environment where feedback is
expected and “mistakes” are recognized as opportunities for learning
• Provide feedback PRIOR to providing the grade05/03/23 16
Descriptive Feedback Strategy #2
Be clear about the learning target and the criteria for good work:• Explain to the student why an assignment is given;
set a relevant purpose for the work• Make directions clear• Utilize student friendly rubrics• Have students develop their own rubrics or
translate yours into student friendly language if appropriate
• Design lessons that incorporate using the rubrics as students work
05/03/23 17
Descriptive Feedback Strategy #3
• Teach students self and peer assessment skills.• Teach students to use tools to help determine and track
their own data and feedback• Develop self-regulation skills necessary for using
any feedback
05/03/23 18
Students can use tools to help determine and track their own data and feedback.

Design lessons in which students use feedback on previous work to produce better work:•Provide opportunities to redo assignments• Give new but similar assignments for the same learning
targets• Give opportunities for students to make the
connections between the feedback they received and the improvement of their work
