'In the Moment' Feedback

CPD: The CRAFT of Assessment (by Michael Chiles), topic 4.3.2

Verbal feedback that occurs in the stages of knowledge acquisition and application is a powerful feedback tool.

When pupils are applying knowledge, circulate the room and monitor their performance towards the learning outcomes.
Use this opportunity to direct pupils - whilst they are in the moment - to enhance their learning and reduce misconceptions or mistakes setting in that you will need to rectify the following lesson.
When pupils are practising, we want to re-direct any errors ‘in the moment’ to reduce errors or misconceptions settling in that could be more difficult to reverse later.

Form thought-provoking questions that focus on the performance of the work and not that specifically of the pupil.
The following slides contain examples of question stems that could be used when circulating the room to monitor pupils' practice mode.

‘Tom, that’s an excellent quote to support your point on how the character is portrayed in the play. Can you develop that further to specify why this quote supports your point...?’
‘Lucy, I can see that you have made a point about a cause of globalisation. Can you develop the point to explain why it has contributed towards this concept….?’
‘Ryan, can you give me an example of what you mean…?’
‘Abigail, do you think you could support that point with a fact or several statistics…?’

Well done!
