Giving Written Feedback

Effective methods for written feedback

About. The resource comprises one 3 page DfES document (drawn from a larger document - see related resources). It highlights a range of techniques for effective written feedback, and includes an activity to explore some example pieces of feedback, and another which focuses on teacher's own practice.

Pedagogical content. This resource discusses written feedback in the context of assessment^(ta) and giving clear learning objectives^(ta) from any feedback given. While such feedback is often on homework^(ta), the resource is intended more broadly than that.
