FEEDBACK: Regular high quality feedback moves learning forward

• Feedback means providing written or verbal comments about some work.
• Feedback must cause thinking to happen. So, it should be a task or question.
• Students must then respond, hence creating a ‘dialogue’.
• Example of written feedback by a teacher at the end of a piece of work:
• STRENGTH - The teacher writes in red: ‘STRENGTH: 3 explained reasons given – well done John.
• ACTION - The teacher then writes in red: ‘ACTION: In the conclusion, can you say what was the most important reason, and why?
• RESPONSE - The student, on receiving the marked work, then writes in green: ‘RESPONSE: In conclusion, I think the most important reason was...because...’
