Why is Feedback important?

Enhances achievement among students

Fosters act ive involvement of s tudents in learning

Enhances se l f eva luat ion

Increases motivat ion and pos i t ive se l f image

Creates meaningful d ia logue

Changes s t rategies of teaching in l ine with feedback

How to Provide Effective Feedback?Phases in provid ing feedback

Clar i fy that the purpose i s to improve, not to destroy

Focus on behaviors that can improve

Begin with pos i t ive feedback

Descr ibe the behavior and how to dea l with i t

Try to end with pos i t ive feedback

Providing Feedback for Success

Investment of effort

You invested a lot of effort in this work, as evident in your thoughtful answers andin reaching your conclusions carefullyon the basis of the data

Strengthening originality

Your ideas about designing a game to teach the rules of multiplication are very original

Enhancing consistency (did not happen by luck)

As in other times, you dealt with the challenge of designing an experiment about the conditions necessary for plant growth very well

C r e a t e d b y F r e e p i k

Strengthening the belief in the ability to grow

When I heard your description of the problem, I realized that you really improved your ability to describe the issues and to find appropriate solutions for them

Providing Feedback for ChallengesThe Power of “Not Yet”

Stress that the challenge is specific, not general

Just in this task, you did not apply your knowledge about causality yet. I am certain that if you practice, you can apply your knowledge in the next tasks.

Providing Feedback for ChallengesThe Power of “Not Yet”

Focus on improvement

I am sure that if you try hard, you will be able to think about a better example showing the causal relationship between the weather and plant growth. You may get some ideas from the experiments that you performed onplant growth.

Providing Feedback for ChallengesProvide normative information (You are not the only one with the problem)

As happens to many other people, it is complicated to think about all of the interactions between the events that led to World War II.

I am sure you can make several meaningful connections between these events.

In your opinion, where can you find moreInformation on these connections?

Providing Feedback for ChallengesEspecially for Twice Exceptional Students

Focus on efforts to address challenges and offer help

Instead of:You need to listen more in English lessons.

Say:Your efforts to listen in English lessons are commendable. Let’s think together about additional ways to succeed in English.

Providing Feedback for ChallengesEspecially for Twice Exceptional Students

Focus on efforts to address challenges and offer help

Instead of:You were late many times in coming to school.

Say:I value your efforts to get to school on time. I know how much it demands from you.Let’s think of several ways to get to school on time.
