What do students and teachers need to be clear about according to the first question of the feedback model?
-Students and teachers need to be clear about the learning goals and what success looks like.
Why is it important to gather evidence about students' knowledge, skills, and performance?
-Gathering evidence helps understand the students' current level relative to the learning goals and tasks, which is crucial for providing targeted feedback.
How does clarifying the steps for achieving learning goals contribute to feedback effectiveness?
-Clarifying the steps helps students understand how to improve and achieve their learning goals, which is a key component of effective feedback.
What is the benefit of feedback that focuses on the processes underlying the learning task?
-Feedback on underlying processes or self-regulation of learning is more powerful as it helps students develop deeper understanding and better learning strategies.
How does effective feedback benefit teachers?
-Effective feedback provides teachers with evidence about student learning, helping them understand the impact of their teaching and adapt strategies to better meet student needs.
What role can school leaders play in supporting feedback practices?
-School leaders can support teachers by prioritizing feedback, implementing a whole school approach, providing resources, and facilitating professional learning and collaboration.
How can teachers develop their feedback practices?
-Teachers can develop their feedback practices by setting clear learning goals, trying activities that provide evidence of student learning, planning for feedback on task processes and self-regulation, ensuring student understanding and action on feedback, and collaborating with colleagues.
Why is it important for educators to work collaboratively to improve feedback practices?
-Collaboration among educators helps refine feedback practices, share insights, and create a consistent approach to feedback across the school, enhancing overall effectiveness.

📈 The Power of Feedback in Education
Feedback is crucial for enhancing teaching and learning, with the potential to significantly improve student learning outcomes. It is a continuous process involving goal setting, evidence gathering, and providing clear instructions for improvement. Feedback can be sourced from teachers, peers, or the students themselves. Research-based models by Hattie and Timperley, and Black and William, emphasize three key questions: understanding learning goals and success (Where is the learner going?), assessing current knowledge and performance (Where is the learner right now?), and clarifying steps for achieving goals (How does the learner get there?). Effective feedback can increase student effort, improve learning strategies, and enhance self-regulation. For teachers, it offers insights into student learning and teaching impact, guiding necessary adjustments. Collaborative efforts among educators and school leaders are essential for sustaining good feedback practices, which are evidence-based and cost-effective, ultimately enriching teaching and promoting student growth.

Transcripts
Feedback is a powerful way to achieve improvement in teaching and learning.
It is an integral part of every teacher’s practice and when used effectively can improve
student learning by as much as eight months.
As teachers and school leaders it’s essential to understand what evidenced-based feedback
if we’re to unlock the greatest possible benefits for our students.
So what does the research tell us about feedback in teaching?
Feedback is an ongoing process of goal setting, gathering evidence about student learning
and providing instruction that makes clear the next actions to improve performance.
Feedback can be given by the teacher, peers, or the student themselves.
Two evidence based models for feedback have been developed by Hattie and Timperley and
Black and William.
Both models propose three important questions for both the student and teacher to consider.
Where is the learner going?
Students and teachers need to be clear about the learning goals and what success looks
like.
Goals need to be appropriately challenging so the students can succeed and grow.
Where is the learner right now?
Evidence is gathered about the students’ knowledge, skills and performance relative
to the learning goals and tasks.
How does the learner get there?
This involves clarifying the steps the student needs to take to achieve the learning goals.
If needed, the teacher adapts or changes the teaching and learning activities to meet the
student’s needs.
Feedback can be directly related to the learning task, which is useful, however, feedback about
the processes underlying the task or about how students self-regulate their learning
is more powerful.
So what are the benefits of effective feedback?
Research indicates that effective feedback can increase student effort and outcomes,
lead to more effective learning strategies and improve students’ self-regulation.
The benefits for teachers are also significant.
Effective feedback practices provide evidence about student learning related to learning
goals and the curriculum.
This helps teachers understand the impact of their teaching and, if needed, where to
adapt strategies to better meet the needs of their students.
To improve and sustain good feedback practices it is vital that educators work collaboratively.
School leaders can support teachers by prioritizing feedback and implementing a whole school approach,
providing access to resources and opportunities for professional learning and collaboration.
Teachers can develop their feedback practices by communicating clear learning goals, trialling
activities that provide evidence of student learning, planning for task process and self-regulated
feedback, checking that students understand and act on the feedback provided and working
with colleagues to develop and refine feedback practices.
Feedback is evidence based and inexpensive to implement.
It offers a powerful approach to enriching teacher practice and significantly enhancing
student growth.
