**Read and Reflect**
 * When a teacher provides feedback, it allows students' to monitor their success. It allows them to focus on the content, and lets them determine their level of understanding.
 * I provide feedback concerning behavior and academics. I give feedback during instruction and at the end of units of study.
 * Students are more willing to try and continue to work on a concept, if they know they are going to have success.
 * I would like to know if there is a time when providing feedback could have a "negative" impact on student performance.

Checking my understanding: Mr. Bing Strengths: Weakness:
 * multiple choice & true false
 * students' received timely feedback
 * short answer and essay questions untimely feedback
 * the students did not know what they did well because they were only told a score

Mr. Kelly Strenths: Weakness:
 * clustered items based on criterion based knowledge
 * used guidelines in rubrics
 * teacher feedback was not given - the students were told to use the rubric

2. Mr. Bing and Mr. Kelly could have used peer assessments to not only stress common errors but to look at test items to determine what a student knew how to do and what/when the mistakes occured. For self-assessment, Mr. Kelly reminded students to refer to the rubric, but could meet with them to give feedback about their progress.

For example, skip counting by 6's. I will have kids record their voices using this pattern. Then I will respond to their recording in vocaroo.
