Whole class feedback: how to improve writing by identifying patterns

By We Are In Beta
Learn how to use whole class feedback to give your students the tools to improve their work.
When teachers look and give feedback on patterns in students’ work, workload for teachers decreases and students are more able to write well without support.
What is this session about?
You want to make the biggest impact on your students’ writing possible. You want to make sure they can demonstrate their understanding of what you’ve taught them. But the hours that you’ve spent annotating books is not changing the way that they write.
A teacher’s time is the most valuable resource and, through whole class feedback, teachers use their time effectively and departments can decide on and reinforce what success looks like. The parameters of success are defined and can be internalised by students. But the questions are:
How can you provide feedback without wasting your time?
How do you change the student and not just the work?
What do you scan for? What do you dive deeper into?
What does good feedback look like and sound like?
How do you select and spotlight good examples?
How do you address misconceptions?
How do you set targets?
Join us to learn:
How we do whole class feedback to save time and maximise impact
How we ensure students have a concrete idea of what success looks like and build confidence in their writing.
What good and less good feedback looks like.
Examples of sentence structures which are versatile ensure understanding of content.
How to spotlight shout outs, set targets, address misconceptions and improve spelling and grammar.
