For practicing teachers:

When you design a formative assessment for your students examine whether you consider feedback a major component of this assessment

• Analyze the type of feedback you provide.
• Is it the type of feedback that furthers learning?
• Is it the type of feedback that strengthens the student’s capacity to self-regulate their own performance?
• Or do you provide both types of feedback?

For non-practicing teachers:

Analyze the type of feedback you received as a teacher candidate. You can use your experience as a student in the M.Ed. program or elsewhere.

• Based on what you have learned so far how would you improve the feedback practice in your student days?

please make your response reflective, personalize it, and give a practical class example
