I'd Like to Speak to the Manager: Austin's Butterfly - Models, Critique, and Descriptive Feedback


Austin's Butterfly


Watch as Ron Berger, Chief Academic Officer at EL Education demonstrates the transformational power of models, critique, and descriptive feedback to improve student work. Here he tells the story of Austin's Butterfly. 1st grade students helped Austin take a scientific illustration of a butterfly through multiple drafts toward a high-quality final product.
