I am a Junior Kindergarten teacher in a play-based, Reggio Emilia and social-constructivist inspired classroom who is teaching grade 5 next year. Through my experience in JK I have seen how effective documentation can be as a form of assessment and love the ideas of exploring Learning Stories and how I could used them next year in my grade 5 class.

Any other tips for me?

Bravo! You make some excellent points. Feedback from a teacher should not just be correcting their papers, etc. Feedback should be focused on student learning, and require action that is challenging yet achievable, as you stated.

I was a professional dancer before becoming an elementary school teacher, so formative assessments (or feedback) comes natural to me. I give my students timely encouragement and guidance to help them reach their potential.

I enjoyed reading this post. I feel so strongly that we as teachers do not need to spend most of our time “correcting” papers. I like the feedback that was given. I believe it is so important to show the positive first about the child’s paper, and then what they may do to better fix it.
