Descriptive Feedback

^{Descriptive Feedback}

^{Descriptive feedback empowers students to adjust what they are doing to continue developing their knowledge, skills, and understandings. Descriptive feedback helps families understand where their children are in their learning, what their next steps are, and how we can work together to best support their children in their continued growth within that curricular area and/or Learning Standard/IEP Goal. Just knowing where a student is on a scale provides minimal information to families to help students move forward in their learning.}

^{Descriptive feedback is concise, strengths-based, written comments or documented conversations that are aligned to the Learning Standards and describe student learning, as well as identify specific areas for future growth. It should be concise and in family and student-friendly language. Lesson plans and the learning standards of the curriculum do not need to be summarized.}
