How many feedback loops are considered high to score in the 6-7 area? Conversations can be started by teachers for LM but feedback looks should be addressed based on what children do and say?

Hi @LaTonya Redfearn,

This is a great question! There isn't a specific number of times an indicator needs to be observed to be considered in the high range. Feedback loops are just a single indicator. Most, if not all, indicators would also need to be in the high range to receive a 6-7 for the Quality of Feedback dimension to receive a score of 6 or 7 (indicators such as Feedback loops do not receive a numerical score. They are rated high, mid, or low).While there isn't a set number of feedback loops that equate to the indicator being rated in the high range, the manual suggests that feedback loops occur frequently in classrooms rated high for the Feedback loops indicator. It's also good to remember that a single feedback loop consists of sustained or multiple back-and-forth exchanges rather than a single back-and-forth exchange.

I hope that helps!

Thank you for your response. I am still in need of clarification as I was told it would have to be more than one feedback loop to score in the 6-7 range? Multiple Feedback loops would be needed and initiated by the students?
