- 4.6.5.5 With guidance and support from peers and adults, use a writing process to develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, drafting, revising, and editing.

Professor John Hattie researched different influences and measured their effectiveness on student achievement (for a summary of his findings, check out this infographic). He found that providing students with effective feedback has high influence over student achievement. In order for feedback to be effective and useful though, three conditions have to be met: “the learner needs the feedback; the learner receives the feedback and has time to use it; and the learner is willing and is able to use the feedback,” (Sadler in Hattie, p. 153, Visible Learning for Teachers; Maximizing impact on learning, 2012, New York: Routledge).
Here's another powerful example on the effectiveness of critiquing and feedback on student performance: Austin’s Butterfly.
Based on these different stories, ask:
- How do you use feedback with your students?
- Do you find it is effective?
- How could you reexamine your practice on giving students feedback to have a greater impact on their learning?
