Transcript of Critique presentation
Critique (Making feedback a more powerful tool in the classroom)
Why I looked at it:
• I wanted students to develop actual pride in the quality of their work
• I wanted to develop the use of feedback in my classroom (and for it to become a culture/norm)
• I wanted to have feedback acted upon instantly so every student made progress (specific feedback is surely one of the best forms of differentiation?)
ProcessDedicate whole lessons to this
• Model a piece of work you are asking students to create (pull out key vocabulary)
• Create a success criteria with students
• Draft 1
• Formal class critique
• Draft 2 (redraft)
• Student critique….
Critique Rules: • Be kind: All feedback is there to help. No
personal comments. No sarcasm.
• Be specific: No comments like ‘It’s good’ or ‘I like it’. These just waste our time. Ban them. Use vocab pulled out from model.
• Be helpful: Aim is to help an individual or the whole class with their learning. Comments should focus on this. Anything else wastes time.
• Hard on content, soft on people

Why? Impact?• Standard of work went through the roof• Feedback given was more specific and became like
a set of instructions (vocab improved)• The progress that students made was extremely
high• Content was learnt and reinforced over and over
again through process of critique• Underlying development of literacy skills and other
key processes used in the project• Students looking for work to be critiqued without
my direction• Students skilled enough to critique their own work
with rigor• Culture of creating work to be proud of was
achieved in the project (due to critique)
