Marzano’s Framework
Research on metacognition, particularly in literacy and mathematics, makes a
convincing case that instruction and support in the control and regulation of
thinking processes can have a strong impact on achievement

What Skills do you now teach that you
didn’t teach before?
Which skill(s) do you need to start
teaching more deliberately?

Innovation
“Change that creates a new
dimension of performance.”
management guru Peter Drucker

• Still focusing on
Product
• Need to focus on
Student Learning –
on Process…

“What all young innovators have in
common is the importance of play,
passion and purpose in their lives.” p. 139
“The value of explicit information is rapidly dropping. Today the
real added value is what you can do with what you know. And it is
in the doing and the probing of the universe, the pursuit of a query
that real learning takes place.” Paul Bottino – Technology and
Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard

Skillful Thinking

–Strategic spirit
–Higher order thinking
– Transfer (sense and meaning-Sousa)

Consider Dispositions and Habits
Perkins Learning Dispositions for Good Thinking
• The Disposition to be curious and questioning
• The Disposition to think broadly and
adventurously
• The Disposition to reason clearly and carefully
• The Disposition to organize one’s thinking
• The Disposition to give time to thinking
– From The Thinking Classroom-Learning and Teaching in a
Culture of Thinking, Perkins, Tishman, Jay

Thinking Language
• Terms to share with kids about thinking and
thinking processes
• Typically more specific than what is often used
in classrooms

Teacher’s job is to make explicit
that which we had hoped would
be implicit to our students.
Carol Tomlinson

application of appropriate thinking skills and
productive habits of mind, as needed, to
develop thoughtful products, such as
decisions, arguments, and other analytical,

What is Feedback?
“Feedback is an objective description of a student’s
performance intended to guide future performance.
Unlike evaluation, which judges performance,
feedback is the process of helping our students
assess their performance, identify areas where they
are right on target and provide them tips on what
they can do in the future to improve in areas that
need correcting.”
~ W. Fred Miser

What is Feedback?
 “Research has shown that
effective feedback is not a
discrete practice, but an
integral part of an
instructional dialogue
between teacher and
student, (or between
students, or between the
student and him/herself).”
From “Providing Students with Effective
Feedback”

What is Feedback?
 “Feedback is not about praise or blame, approval or
disapproval. That’s what evaluation is – placing
value. Feedback is value-neutral. It describes what
you did and did not do.”
~ Grant Wiggins

What is Feedback?
 “Effective feedback, however, shows where we are
in relationship to the objectives and what we need
to do to get there.
 “It helps our students see the assignments and tasks
we give them as opportunities to learn and grow
rather than as assaults on their self-concept.
 “And, effective feedback allows us to tap into a
powerful means of not only helping students learn,
but helping them get better at learning.”
~ Robyn R. Jackson

What is Feedback?
 “Effective feedback not only tells
students how they performed,
but how to improve the next
time they engage the task.
Effective feedback is provided in
such a timely manner that the
next opportunity to perform the
task is measured in seconds, not
weeks or months.”
~ Douglas Reeves, p. 227

Feedback Focus
 Academic
 Behavioral

Primary Purposes of
Feedback
 To keep students on course so they arrive
successfully at their predetermined destination.
~ W. Fred Miser
“It is one thing to collect feedback about students’
progress, but if you simply collect this feedback and
never use it to adjust your instruction, then you are
collecting it in vain. The data you receive from
grading your assignments and assessments will give
you feedback about the effectiveness of your own
instruction.”
~ Robyn R. Jackson

 grade, socioeconomic status,
race, or school setting….When
feedback and corrective
procedures are used, most
students can attain the same
level of achievement as the top
20% of students.”
 ~ Bellon, Bellon & Blank
“Academic feedback is more strongly and consistently
related to achievement than any other teaching
behavior….This relationship is consistent regardless of

“Feedback seems to work well in so many situations
that it led researcher John Hattie (1992) to make the
following comment after analyzing almost 8,000
studies:
‘The most powerful single modification that enhances
achievement is feedback. The simplest prescription for
improving education must be dollops of feedback.’”
~ Robert Marzano

“In a major review of the research on assessment, Paul
Black and Dylan Wiliam (1998) noted
The research reported here shows conclusively that
formative assessment does improve learning. The gains in
achievement appear to be quite considerable, and as noted
earlier, amongst the largest ever reported for educational
interventions. As an illustration of just how big these gain
are, an effect size of 0.7, if it could be achieved on a
nationwide scale, would be equivalent to raising the
mathematics achievement score of an ‘average’ country
like England, New Zealand or the United States into the ‘top
five’ after thee Pacific rim countries of Singapore, Korea,
Japan and Hong Kong.”
~ What Works in Schools, p. 38

Power of Accurate
Feedback
 Immediate impact on results
 Lower failures
 Better attendance
 Fewer suspensions
 Failure here undermines EVERY OTHER EFFORT in
curriculum, assessment, and teaching
~ Douglas Reeves, Asilomar Conference 2009 Powerpoint

Characteristics of Feedback
 Timely
 “The more delay that occurs in giving feedback, the less improvement there is in achievement.” (Marzano(1), p. 97)
 As often as possible, for all major assignments
 Constructive/Corrective
 What students are doing that is correct
 What students are doing that is not correct
 Choose areas of feedback based on those that relate to major learning goals and essential elements of the assignment
 Should be encouraging and help students realize that effort on their part results in more learning (Marzano(2), p. 105)
 Specific to a Criterion
 Precise language on what to do to improve
 Reference where a student stands in relation to a specific learning target/goal
 Also specific to the learning at hand
 Based on personal observations
 Focused on the product/behavior – not on the student
 Verified
 Did the student understand the feedback?
 Opportunities are provided to modify assignments, products, etc. based on the feedback
 What is my follow up plan to monitor and assist the student in these areas?)

Essential Elements of
Feedback
1. Recognition of the Desired Goal
2. Evidence about Present Position (current work)
3. Some Understanding of a Way to Close the Gap
Between the Two
~ Black & William

1. Recognition of the
Desired Goal Includes:
 Clarity of the Learning Goal
 Clarity about Content Area
 Clarity of Curricular Indicators
 Clarity of Mastery Objectives
 Clearly communicating the desired learning goal to
students through instruction.
 A “Vision of Excellence”

Methods to Ensure Student
Understanding of Learning Goals
 Have students define what successful achievement of the goals
looks or sounds like. (Developing a “criteria for success”)
 Provide several samples, models, exemplars, etc. of products
that achieve the learning goal in exemplary fashion.
 Lead students through an analysis of the criteria of successful
achievement in terms of the samples provided. Could be
through the use of rubrics or descriptions of the
practice/product.
 Compare students’ product to the criteria for success
(highlight/use “+” through criteria that were met by the
product)
 Have students continue working on a task until they succeed.

The Language of
Assessment
 “As a result of understanding the learning
destination and appreciating what quality work and
success look like, students:
 Begin to learn the language of assessment. This means
students learn to talk about and reflect on their own
work using the language of criteria and learning
destinations.
 Gain the knowledge they need to make decisions that
help close the gap between where they are in their
learning and where they need to be.”
~ Anne Davies, p. 38

2. Evidence About Present
Position
 What student work/assignments/projects look like –
“what is”
 Current work samples

3. Ways to Close the Gap
between Goals & Current State
 Provide guidance on how to improve (strategies,
tips, suggestions, reflective questioning, etc.)
 Provide student-friendly version of learning targets
along with actual samples of student work
 Provide help to improve
 Provide time to work on the improvement, apply the
feedback

Sharing Feedback
 Oral, interactive (one-on-one) feedback is best whenever possible
 Use descriptive, not evaluative language
 Focus on what went well and what can be improved in language
students understand
 Seek consensus with the student(s) – do you agree on the assessment
of this product?
 Focus on the performance and/or behavior – not the student
 Focus on those behaviors that the student can do something about.
 Provide a demonstration if “how to do something” is an issue or if the
student needs an example.
 Group/class feedback works when most students missed the same
concept, providing an opportunity for reteaching.

Feedback Timing
Good Timing
 Returning a test or
assignment the next day
 Giving immediate oral
responses to questions of
fact
 Giving immediate oral
responses to student
misconceptions
 Providing flash cards (which
give immediate right/wrong
feedback) for studying facts
Bad Timing
 Returning a test or
assignment two weeks after
it is completed
 Ignoring errors or
misconceptions (thereby
implying acceptance)
 Going over a test or
assignment when the unit is
over and there is no
opportunity to show
improvement
~ Susan Brookhart

Amount of Feedback
 For students to get enough feedback so that they
understand what to do but not so much that the
work has been done for them (differs case by case)
 For students to get feedback on “teachable
moment” points but not an overwhelming number
~ Susan Brookhart

Amounts of Feedback
Good Amounts
 Selecting 2-3 main points
about a paper for comment
 Giving feedback on
important learning targets
 Commenting on at least as
many strengths as
weaknesses
Bad Amounts
 Returning a student’s paper
with every error in
mechanics edited
 Writing comments on a
paper that are more
voluminous that the paper
itself
 Writing voluminous
comments on poor-quality
papers and almost nothing
on good-quality papers
~ Susan Brookhart

Strategies to Help Students
Learn to Use Feedback
 Model giving and using feedback yourself.
 Teach students self- and peer assessment skills to:
 Teach students where feedback comes from.
 Increase students’ interest in feedback because it’s “theirs”.
 Answer students’ own questions.
 Develop self-regulation skills, necessary for using any feedback.
 Be clear about the learning target and the criteria for good work.
 Use assignments with obvious value and interest.
 Explain to the student why an assignment is given – what the work is for.
 Make directions clear.
 Use clear rubrics.
 Have students develop their own rubrics or translate yours into “kid-friendly” language.
 Design lessons that incorporate using the rubrics as students work.
 Design lessons in which students use feedback on previous work to produce better work.
 Provide opportunities to redo assignments. (Comparing a rough draft to the rubric/criteria/exemplar.)
 Give new but similar assignments for the same learning targets.
 Give opportunities for students to make the connection between the feedback they received and the
improvement in their work.
~ Susan Brookhart

Attaining Excellence
 “Students must have routine access to the criteria
and standards for the task they need to master; they
must have feedback in their attempts to master
those tasks; and they must have opportunities to
use the feedback to revise work and resubmit it for
evaluation against the standard. Excellence is
attained by such cycles of model-practice-perform-
feedback-perform.”
~ Grant Wiggins

Feedback Levels
 Feedback may be directed at one of four levels:
1. The task
“The best task-level feedback corrects flawed
interpretations rather than a lack of knowledge and
helps students focus on using strategies to achieve their
learning goals.” ~ Center on Instruction
2. The processing of the task ~ facilitating depth in
learning (encouraging students’ use of strategies to
check their work, recognize errors, and self-correct)
3. Self-regulation ~ helping students internalize the
practice of self-monitoring their learning and work.
4. The student as an individual ~ least effective feedback

To reduce discrepancies
between current
understandings / performance
and a desired goal
The Discrepancy Can Be Reduced By
Teachers
Providing appropriate challenging and
specific goals
OR
Assisting students to reach them through
affective strategies
Students
Increased effort and employment of more
effective strategies
OR
Abandoning, blurring or lowering the
goals
EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK ANSWERS THREE
QUESTIONS
Feed Up
Where am I going?
(The Goals)
Feed Back
How am I going?
Feed Forward
Where to next?

MOTIVATION ACTIVE LEARNING ENGAGEMENT

expectancy × value = motivation
Brophy (2004) and Cross (2001) observe that much of
what researchers have found can be organized within
an expectancy × value model. This model holds that the
effort that people are willing to expend on a task is the
product of the degree to which they expect to be able
to perform the task successfully (expectancy) and the
degree to which they value the rewards as well as the
opportunity to engage in performing the task itself
(value).

and Adult Education Series) (Kindle Locations 475-478). John Wiley and Sons. Kindle Edition.
