Descriptive Feedback In Intermediate

Courtney has also been using descriptive feedback in her combined Grade 7/8 classroom.  She is using it as a way to not only support struggling students, but to also stretch the thinking of students who are quite successful as well.  Here is some of the feedback she gave to her students recently when they completed a task on angles.

Notice how she starts with a positive statement, then gives her feedback in the form of a question.  This will allow the students the opportunity to reflect on not only what is being asked, but put it into contexts of the entire problem.
