Print out all support documents for this video. Have teachers watch the video and then ask each teacher to comment on what additions or changes in practice they might try.

Have teachers bring corrected work to a professional development session. Show the video and distribute copies of Characteristics of Effective Feedback. Have teachers independently reflect on their current written feedback and any changes they want to incorporate.
