Overview of the Aim for the Year: Feedback
Currently, there is a need at Rossett to consider how and
why we give feedback in order to ensure it is being used effectively by both
staff and students. Our aim for this academic year is to research various
methods of ‘closing the gap’ between giving students feedback and them acting
upon it in order to gain knowledge and understanding of what it is they could improve
on. This should over time allow our students to become more responsible for improving
their work, thus raising expectations and standards across the board. Students
will become more resilient to meet these increasing standards and be able to reflect
more effectively on their work, what they aim to achieve and how they will
reach this goal.
In order to create this culture within the school, we aim to
research, discuss and implement various strategies with our TLC groups that will
suit individuals and faculties in order to improve their feedback to students
and share good practice cross-curricularly. This will incorporate many
different types of feedback, including written, oral, peer, self and e-feedback.
We plan to deliver sessions with practical elements that staff can have a go at
and demonstrate their own understanding of how these methods of feedback can
work for them in ‘closing the gap’ for their students.
