This document discusses principles of effective feedback based on research. It recommends that feedback should be provided as quickly as possible, clearly indicate next steps for learning, and be used to inform planning. Feedback should link to learning objectives and success criteria. Learners need time to think about and respond to feedback, which should be regular and consistently applied. The document then provides examples of effective feedback practices from the Darton Learning Model and a science example. It prompts reflection on what effective feedback would look and feel like, and has departments draft a feedback policy. Recommended resources on the topic are also listed.

8. Demonstrate... and ‘show you know’
Not in your department groups...
What would we see, hear, feel if feedback at
DC was highly effective?

In your departments...

collate and present to CTL’s on Wednesday.

Can I be that little bit better at using methods to make feedback stick?
