FEEDBACK LOG for Formative Assessment

The feedback you provide to students on your child-friendly 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. How you help them use it is also critical and includes concrete reminders, PLUS the
learning experience to use the feedback.

Students do not automatically use the feedback of what you write or tell them. You will need to have concrete
reminders for them each day to help them reflect on what you shared with them the day before (meta-cognition)
(index card with a reminder, poster, a string on their finger with a C attached to remind them to capitalize).

What you are doing in this clinical practice, is what you will b we doing the rest of your career. It should become
part of your daily practice and be included in your unit week, though not recorded.
