#aussieED Archive

#aussieED was founded on the belief that all teachers, and students, should have unlimited access to Professional Development, on their own terms, to improve their teaching, their schools and change the lives of the students they encounter. Since then, we have embarked on a mission to reach educators, not only in Australia but, all around the globe. We want to smash the barriers that prevent teachers from easily connecting and learning with each other. To that end, we have developed a regular Ed-chat each Sunday on twitter at #aussieED. The chat allows all teachers, leaders, administrators and all those connected with education to meet on an unbiased platform and discuss the real issues that effect what happens in classrooms everywhere. Our chats are authentic because we are real teachers walking the same walk that so many do everyday.

  • Phippsb53 Aug 13 @ 6:39 AM EDT
    A1: My favorite form of feedback is a question. It means they are curious, wanting/needing more information, and not afraid to ask #aussieED

    A1. Without feedback the assessment tasks only serve the reporting process. It works best if given before the marks are given back #AussieED
  • Tam_Scharf Aug 13 @ 6:40 AM EDT
    A1. We need to unpack the unit to see where it is going - feedforward - focus on the end goal. #aussieED
  • GileskKate Aug 13 @ 6:40 AM EDT
    A1- kids need to care and feel connected to their learning in order to want to act on feedback. #AussieEd

    A1) It's not enough to just provide feedback, you have to really know each student to know how to give that feedback. #AussieEd

    Question 2, in 2 #aussieED

    If it promotes dialogue with students & is actively followed up it ensures it is understood & more likely to be acted upon #aussieED

    No. I don't see a reason to ever say these things. In what learning situations would you say them? To whom and why? #aussieED
    In reply to @annemariemaw
  • empowerlearn Aug 13 @ 7:13 AM EDT
    A5 build up lots of skills for Ss to master on how to give effective peer feedback. Without that, they just say - yeah it's good! #aussieED
  • debsnet Aug 13 @ 7:13 AM EDT
    For me the student as tree & the teacher as active planter/cultivator is too linear. Feedback & students are more complex. #aussieED
    In reply to @yeates_mark, @jackwurf
  • jackwurf Aug 13 @ 7:13 AM EDT
    It goes back to students acting on the given feedback. The feedback can be sensational. If it is not acted on has no effect #aussieED

  • ZeinaChalich - Moderator Aug 13 @ 7:19 AM EDT
    I agree! If tchrs aren't engaged in a feedback/feedforward process themselves, it's challenging to promote this practice in class #aussieED
    • mattoman71 Aug 13 @ 7:09 AM EDT
      A5: Starts with teachers accepting feedback to improve their learning. Until we can, why should we expect students or peers to? #aussieED
