Feedback for learning NE714

Develop your approaches to written and oral feedback, to support student learning through formative assessment, without increasing your workload.

Summary

Marking has been identified as an area of excessive workload for teachers, but feedback is crucial for students to improve their understanding.On this course, you’ll explore evidence-based approaches for using written and oral feedback to support student learning without increasing your workload. You’ll learn how to develop a classroom culture that encourages formative dialogue and prepares students to receive, act upon, and learn from teacher feedback.
