In a recent post published by Edutopia entitled “5 research-based tips for providing students with meaningful feedback”, I came across some useful suggestions for teachers to consider when giving feedback to students:
1- Be as specific as possible
2- The sooner the better
3- Address the learner’s advancement toward a goal
4- Present feedback carefully
5- Involve learners in the process
How are you using descriptive feedback in your classroom?
