The importance of feedback

  • The art of giving feedback to pupils is as an important element of the teaching and learning cycle that enables teachers to support pupils in closing the knowledge gap, the discrepancy between what pupils currently know and what pupils need to know.

Effective feedback culture

  • Principles for creating an effective feedback culture:
    • Timely – in relation to the delivery by teachers and the space for pupils to respond.
    • Receptive culture – where pupils embrace the process of feedback.
    • Granular – a concrete and specific target that can be actioned by pupils.
    • Supports self-regulation – creates conditions for pupils to have clarity in the advice given by teachers and act on it.
    • Fluid process – flowing between teacher-to-teacher, pupil-to-pupil.
