Feedback for Learning
tools for on-going, effective feedback
Formative Assessment
- used to inform both the teacher and the student of the learner's progress so that appropriate steps can be taken to advance the learning.
- provides opportunities for learners to self-assess/reflect
- ensure student ownership over their learning goals
- When done well, formative assessment advances and motivates, rather than merely reports on student learning. The clearly defined goals and descriptive feedback to students provide them with specific insights regarding how to improve, and the growth they experience helps build their confidence as learners (Stiggins & DuFour, 2009).
Feedback for Learning
- Be Specific as Possible
- The Sooner the Better

Future Action
Audio Feedback is Much More Effective than Written Feedback. Learners on average will read feedback 1 time and never return. When the feedback is audio, they will listen to your comments 6-7 times.
Audio Feedback
- Schoology has options for teachers to give audio feedback directly on assignments.
- CroakIt is a free app that allows you to record 30 seconds of audio. Then you have a link to send to each student with their personalized feedback.
