What is feedback? (5 mins)

“Effective feedback needs to address one of the three major questions asked by the teacher and/or the student:

  • Where am I going (What are the goals?)
  • How am I doing? (What progress is being made towards the goals?)
  • Where to next? (What activities need to be undertaken to make better progress?) Hattie, 2011

Turkey = 20 + 21 + 18 + 11 + 5 + 25 = 100

Printer = 16 + 18 + 9 + 14 + 20 + 5 + 18 = 100

Contented = 3 + 15 + 14 + 20 + 5 + 14 + 20 + 5 + 4 = 100

Mittens = 13 + 9 + 20 + 20 + 5 + 14 + 19 = 100 … and many more!
