Effective Feedback And Supporting Educational development:

feedback: information practitioners give to children.

ways of feedback: written and verbal

effective feedback helps young people to: make progress with their learning and development, but also their behaviour, know what they’re doing well as well as areas and strategies to make improvements

there’s a link between effective feedback and metacognition. If the process of effective feedback is carried out with children they can learn how to evaluate their own learning. This can be a metacognition strategy that they use independently.

timely - to support clarity, motivation and retention of information

clear and detailed - can identify precisely what they need to improve, this in turn can help them achieve success and so help them to remain motivated

relevant to criteria - can understand how they have achieved the outcomes and where they still need to develop

action-orientated - have specific goals for the future and know what they should continue to do

ongoing - people can visit and re-evaluate leaning as part of continuous process

interactive - ensures clarity through dialogue between the teacher/student/peers
