Full Description
Feedback keeps learning moving forward.
You have the power to improve everything about teaching and learning—through excellent feedback. Make it precise. Timely. Actionable. Feedback is absolutely necessary for learning, and is the one ingredient that, if missing, will hinder the learning process. In this Playbook, you will not only learn how to give effective feedback—but have abundant opportunities to practice this skill (and get feedback) as you learn.
Bestselling authors John Almarode, Douglas Fisher, and Nancy Frey brilliantly organize this resource into 16 modules on the 4 C's of Feedback:
Care — create a culture in which teachers, students and leaders embrace feedback as a continuous loop of giving, receiving, and integrating suggestions
Credibility — know how to stoke relatability, dynamism, and trust—and avoid the three most common barriers to students' acting on feedback
Clarity — align your learning goals, success criteria, and strategies so you gain the most useful evidence during learning from which to generate feedback.
Communication — give feedback with intention, by speaking to the task; or to the learner's process, or to the learner's ability to monitor their own progress.
Feedback is futile unless it motivates students to change their approach the next time, and still love learning. With the How Feedback Works: A Playbook you have the essential guide to ensuring students go-get their highest potential.
