How can someone give effective feedback to his/her students?

      Feedback is an important tool for the student and teacher. It is the information communicated to a student in regard to his/her understanding, this information includes guidance on how to improve.

 It also enables students to gain a more thorough understanding of the particular skill or concept they are trying to improve in.

      Feedback should concentrate on the success of the work and the areas

for improvement in both individual pieces and for meeting the learning objectives over a longer period of time.

      Feedback is most effective when it is delivered promptly and reflection time is planned into the lesson to allow students time to respond

to the comment and if possible act upon it immediately

      The impact of prompt, criteria based feedback on selected pieces

of work will have greater long-term impact on a student’s learning

and their results.
