1. Goal-Referenced
“Effective feedback requires that a person has a goal, takes action to achieve the goal, and receives goal-related information about his or her actions” ("Educational Leadership: Feedback for Learning: Seven Keys to Effective Feedback," n.d.). Goal-Referenced feedback is one way to communicate with parents to maintain that the topic is on education and the mutual goal to work with a student. Goal-Referenced keeps the focus on the student and puts the parent and teacher as peers working for the student instead of on opposite sides. Goal-Referenced is a positive way to outline with the parents how to get from the PLEP to the Goal. Questions to assure that your conference is Goal- referenced is to ask what are our specific goals for the student and what must we do to help the student reach the goal. ("Goal-Referenced - Effective Feedback," n.d.)
2. Tangible and Transparent
“Any useful feedback system involves not only a clear goal, but also tangible results related to the goal” ("Educational Leadership: Feedback for Learning: Seven Keys to Effective Feedback," n.d.).
Tangible and Transparent feedback is vital for all students and parents. Parents have been tangibly giving feedback to their students since they were born. When a child whimpers, a parent responded. When a child learns to walk, the parent cheered. However, they also provide feedback when a child is irresponsible. As a teacher, I can use that love and connection to have feedback with the
In my point of view feedback is an essential tool for learners’ progress. If the student is not assessing their work then they are not learning and given feedback are vital to ensure best practice is maintained and the learners are achieving to their full potential.
Feedback both positive and negative is important for personal development as it helps us to become more aware of what we do and how we do it. Both in good and bad ways, this feedback can then be used to self-develop and improve our practice.
Feedback is a vital part of the assessment process as it gives the assessor an idea of if the learner has met the criteria set and if they haven’t, what action is needed to achieve the criteria.
Effective feedback will encourage the learner to progress and by knowing what and when to give feedback is half the battle won, by choosing a moment to give feedback is as valuable as the actual feedback given. The learner basically wants to know two things what is the grade? and how can I improve? The perfect time to give this feedback is as early as possible after the assignment has been completed. Any feedback during the assignment should not interfere with the assignment in progress but instead compliment the good bits and encourage rather than
First of all, continual feedback allows teachers to self-reflect on best practices. For example, a teacher can target his/her areas of weakness in order to grow professionally and gain further insight of best practices. Another benefit, of teacher evaluations is higher student success rates. These, for example, are measurable through district assessments and state standardized assessments. If a teachers success rate has significantly improved through modification of practices, T-TESS has served its intended purpose. Finally, yet another benefit of teacher evaluations is the fact that the educator is an active participant in his/her evaluation process. For example, through goal setting, the educator is allowed the opportunity to decide where he/she want to grow. Through the evaluation cycle and the communication therein, the appraiser and educator both take greater responsibility in understanding and meeting established goals. Finally, at the end of the process, student growth is an indicator of a well-developed and integrated evaluation system. These are but a few of the many benefits reaped from an evaluation systems such as T-TESS (TEA,
It is always my aim to ensure that feedback is timely and given in a constructive and sensitive manner; and my approach can sometimes be influenced by what I have learned during initial assessment; and as I develop relationships with the learner. I have recently made efforts to encourage my learners to reflect and to self-assess their performance. I feel that this helps to pave the way for me to feedback to the individual and to reduce the risk of de-motivating them.
An aspect of my teaching that I am interested in making more effective is my ability to engage and involve parents in their children’s learning and development.

Feedback is important in an assessment but it must not be negative, just be constructive but positive. You can use a sandwich approach; start with positive feedback, then constructive feedback, the ending on positive note. Giving the learner a positive action plan and reassurance that it can be achieved.
Goal instruction is an essential part of successful DPE teaching, and is instrumental in the formulation and evaluation of the prescribed content being administered to students
As a future educator, I am mindful of the fact that it’s my job to find out why my student is struggling. Sitting down with the child may help me determine the problem. Parents are also one of our greatest resources at our disposal, and I plan to take advantage of that. Parents see different things at home than in the classroom. Conversing
The purpose of this study was to conduct a qualitative exploration of fac- ulty feedback on benchmark written assignments in an online doctoral pro- gram. The researchers examined instructor feedback provided to online doc- toral students on scholarly writing assignments across multiple programs. The Corpus for this analysis included 236 doctoral level written assign- ments that had written, embedded feedback from 51 faculty members. Re- searchers identi ed types and themes of embedded written feedback. Using a method of move structure analysis, embedded feedback was reviewed and coded to determine the occurring themes. A discussion and analysis follows covering the speci c types and themes uncovered in the embedded feedback within these written assignments.
Communication skills are very important in a LDP and feedback is needed to make sure it’s being communicating effectively. There are many different ways to give feedback such as written, verbal, or face to face. Written communication can be in the form of a memo, email, or by using questionnaires and surveys for feedback. When using written communication it is essential that the message is perceived the way it is intended. It’s important not to use jargon or slang which cause people to misunderstand the message. Questionnaires and surveys offer feedback by asking questions and participants have an opportunity to respond by completing the forms. This gives participants a way to give feedback on the LDP. “Let no corrupting talk
