TAG, You're It and SE2R Feedback

 

TAG, You’re It! and SE2R Feedback Strategies

The TAG, You’re It! Feedback strategy is an easy one to implement and can be used for both teacher-student and peer feedback.

T: Tell what you like

A: Ask a question about the work

G: Give an actionable suggestion

You’re It!: Self-assess what comes next

As a bonus here’s one from my friend Mark Barnes and his book Assessment 3.0 (not a plug, just an attribution, but it is a great book about actionable feedback and de-emphasizing grades).

S: Summarize

E: Explain

R: Redirect

R: Resubmit

Summarize

You completed the lab on genetics hypothetical DNA sequence for part of an enzyme

Explain

Your lab report demonstrates an understanding of substrates and amino acids. However, your designed enzyme shows that you may not understand how enzymes interact with substrates.

Redirect and Resubmit

Please review the 2nd part of the Building Blocks for Life handout. If that’s unclear, we’ll meet during office hours on Friday to go over this lab. You will not need to be there for the first part because you showed mastery of that.  Please  revise parts 2 and 3 of your lab and resubmit in Schoology by Monday 5pm.

Both TAG, You’re It and SE2R are effective feedback strategies that build on a shared learning target and ensure that students see the feedback and resulting improvement as necessary and actionable.

Worth Your Time

To learn at home kids need more than just teaching materials. Their brains also must adapt to context.

Partly hidden by isolation, many school children struggle with mental health

We cannot be perfect, great, or even above average

We cannot be perfect, great, or even above average As an administrator during these times, I struggle to find the balance between being positive and overdoing it to the point of being positively toxic. In an  article about toxic positivity, psychiatrist Gayani DeSilva described toxic positivity "as insincere positivity that leads to harm, needless suffering or misunderstanding." Personally, I know since March there was a month or two where I slammed the door on negative emotions, ignoring how I really felt. But I also wonder, "As an education leader, have I spread toxic positivity?" During my fifth and sixth years of teaching, the teaching environment was awful.  Our principal was like a ping pong ball, caught in an acrimonious and untenable relationship between district administrators and teachers. On multiple occasions he told us, "be glad you have a job."  He meant well. He encouraged us to work hard but to also take time for themselves. Unfortunately, ...

What We’ve Learned and Need to Keep We have had to reimagine every facet of teaching and learning this year. It has changed school and teaching as we know it. The pandemic called further attention to the glaring inequities of race, disability and income. Facing countless new challenges, we as educators, have persevered--so too have students and families. As we conclude the academic year, it’s important for us to think about how schooling can evolve. We have become experts in Schoology and other technologies, masters of Zoom, and we’ve connected with students, families, and peers in new ways. None of this was easy. Far from it. The learning curve was steep. Workloads doubled or tripled; matched with an equal increase in stress. The pandemic has affected every aspect of schooling and spotlighted the changes that should continue.   Collaboration between between administrators and educator s Over the summer Mr. Lee created committees to address the challenges of the pandemic.

Questioning the Author

Questioning the Author Questioning the Author (QtA) was developed by Beck and her associates in 1997 and is a means of engaging students in reading text. It is a comprehension strategy that helps students become critical thinkers who question what is written and the author’s motive.  Using this strategy will help your students read with a critical eye, think for themselves and learn to examine what is advertised and explore the information to create deeper meaning.   Here are the steps: Decide what text you want the students to read. Identify what you want students to learn. What are the major concepts, or ideas, or areas of knowledge you want students to learn? Identify areas in the text where students might have difficulty understanding vocabulary or meaning. These become your stop points. At each stop point, develop higher-order questions to help students find meaning and think critically. Ask questions such as: What do you think the author is saying? Do you think the autho...
