How to Give Effective Feedback to Your Students

Meer over het boek

Done well, feedback from teachers to students addresses both cognitive and motivational factors. In this book for elementary school teachers, Brookhart, an educational consultant, categorizes important elements of feedback content (such as focus, comparison, clarity, and tone) and strategy (such as timing, mode, and audience), and offers practical suggestions for using feedback in positive ways. In addition to giving guidelines for good feedback, the author explains what kinds of feedback work best in various content areas and shows how to adjust feedback for different kinds of learners, including successful and struggling students and English language learners.
