  Case: Teacher Feedback
For years, Mrs. Marsh has just put a grade on an assignment and never provided the student with any feedback. The students always ask a ton of questions about their grade. Mrs. Marsh knows she needs to give feedback, but she doesn't know where to start. What would you recommend? What strategies should she implement?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Not only should Mrs. Marsh use rubrics, but she needs to actually write her commentary on the rubrics. If she is concerned about giving the students the actual paper, she can easily make a copy of it. If it is a project, my students are given a copy of the rubric so that they can see exactly what the expectations are for each aspect of the project. When the students are presenting the projects, I literally sit there and write my thoughts on the rubric so that when I go back to grade them later, I can see my comments and remind myself of what the student did well and what the struggles were with the project. Parents like to see my feedback just as much as the students.
