Ideal Implementation
All of the following occur:
The teacher feedback to students is
clearly aligned with the learning
goal and success criteria.
The feedback consistently provides
clues, hints or suggestions to
students about what they can do
to progress from their current
learning status toward the desired
learning goal.

Proficient
2 of the 3 criteria
occur.

elaboration and to have students contribute to extended
conversations. Classroom discourse is characterized by the
consistent use of feedback/probes that encourage
deeper/ more meaningful exploration of ideas.
Close to Proficient
(Skill is emerging,
but not yet to ideal
proficiency.
Coaching is
recommended.)
Far from Proficient
(Follow-up
professional
development and
coaching is critical.)
1 of the 3 criteria
occur.
None of the criteria
occur.
There are occasional
feedback loops,
although they are
short and often end
abruptly and do not
allow a full
exploration of ideas
and concepts.
The teacher asks
questions from
students, but
discourse focuses
on a statement of
correct or incorrect
rather than
deeper/meaningful
exploration of
ideas.
