Pre-primary Arts snapshot: Dance ideas (Australian animals)
Reflecting on the Assessment Snapshot
The teacher in this snapshot provided students with feedback they could incorporate into their final dance. In this way, she ensured that her assessment contributed to student learning.
Effective feedback:
- Directs attention to the intended learning, pointing out strengths and offering specific information to guide improvement.
- Occurs during learning, while there is still time to act on it.
- Addresses partial understanding.
- Does not do the thinking for the student.
- Limits corrective information to the amount of advice the student can act on (Chappuis, 2009, p. 57).
Reflection questions
- What strategies do you use to assess your students’ progress?
- How do you incorporate planning for assessment into your lesson plans?
- How do you refine your lessons based on the information you collect?
- How do you use feedback to students to guide future learning?
