Feedback in Writing - So What is out there? How can I/we build on this?

 




From looking at Sheena Cameron, TKI, within my school and across the CoL, there are a range of ways to give feedback in writing through sharing the successes and challenges but I believe their is a missing piece about how we give this feedback and who is involved.

Refining my question...

"How can I use feedback and feedforward in writing to build relationships with whānau and my Māori and student support learners to create a greater shift in learner's writing?'


At Stonefields School we have three CoL teachers who will collectively work on this goal?


Our brainstorm...

  • Have flexi connects with a learner and parent virtual or physical after school to discuss the feedback throughout the week, along with the child to discuss success, challenges and next steps.
  • Provide School Talk support  and other workshops for whānau to build home school partnerships.

  • Whānau voice of what is going to help when giving and receiving feedback?

  • Create and use strategies and tools to give feedback / feedforward in writing.
  • Create agency for our learners when sharing an co-constructing feedback by using the success criteria. 

  • Share exemplars of what writing we are trying to achieve, and unpack writing progressions. 

  • Taking feedback a step forward and sharing this with colleagues.
This is an exciting space, lockdown #4 puts another angle on this inquiry, I believe that we are a step further to build relationships with wānau and learners through a virtual world.

Inquiry Summary - Burst and Bubbles 2022

My child loves reading, but writing is so much harder for them. I can teach reading, but not writing. They are just not interested in writing  If they don’t know a word should I tell them or do I let them guess? Kia ora, Great to be back here to share my 2022 Inquiry. whānau voice is asking us to partner alongside to help them support their child in writing,  The data collected from earlier this year, EASTle, Overall Teacher Judgements, Gap Analysis in School Talk, Our school-wide data, and tracking attitude and confidence show there is a dip in progress and learners are not making the expected rate of shift or are below standard in writing. I saw this as an opportunity to strengthen relationships and educate whanau on how to help their child at home.  I led a parent writing workshop to upskill them on how we use the LP and to engage their child in writing. We unpacked writing samples to notice what is happening to their child. At Whānau day learners shared their writing success and ne

Junior Agency Self Perception Tool (JAT)

The tool measures the level of agency learners have to take ownership of their learning and make informed decision with the tools and strategies they use.  The survey will provide us with detail so we can evaluate the progress over time and the shifts we need to make. It will provide us with information to make adjustments to our learning design and deliberate acts of teaching.  We have standardised tests to access reading, writing and maths. We have designed a survey to provide us with more standardised and comparative data the focuses on the soft skills for example growing collaboration.  The soft skills that are measured are Reliance/determination Self Aware Take Action Using Tools and Strategies Collaboration' Assessment Capable The 6 Agency capabilities are representative of across school CoL goals and come out of our Stonefields School signature practices....
