My Questions Regarding Giving Student Feedback

Lately as I have been correcting my students' daily assignments (Note Catchers), I have been reflecting on the most effective way that I could give 120 students feedback. I have tried a number of ways in the past and haven’t been satisfied with my results, yet. The four readings provided great examples and suggestions on what are the most effective ways to provide feedback. Tips such as that it should be timely, directly tied to the learning target, include opportunities to “digest, understand, and use what they learned.”, etc., (Brookhart, 2012) are fine suggestions that I intend to implement in my future classroom. What I wish that I could see, however, are more strategies on how to capture the pulse of the learning from all of my students in the few minutes we have together in class on a daily basis. Where we are required to move quickly through units to reach specific district mandated goals, there is very little time to spend multiple days on any one target and capture the level of learning over a period of time. I need to know the types of questions that would efficiently tell me exactly what I should focus on to ensure that my students are reaching the learning targets.
