The Teacher Toolkit Guide to Feedback

Teacher Toolkit Guides transform the theory of education into practical ideas for your classroom. From Ross Morrison McGill, bestselling author of Mark. Plan. Teach. and Teacher Toolkit, this book illustrates how to give excellent feedback and maximise your pupils' learning, all while reducing teacher workloads. This book explores formative assessment, focusing on feed-up (comparing with the goal), feedback (responding to student progress) and feed-forward (clarifying the instruction). It includes strategies for nine types of feedback in the categories of verbal, non-verbal and written, which are supported by the latest research and brand new case studies from a range of schools and colleges. 'An eye-opening must-read for any teacher or leader.' Dr Martin Rigby, Deputy Principal, Runshaw College 'Could this be the start of a feedback revolution? I believe it is!'
