3. Why is bad feedback damaging?
Alex Quigley ā The Confident Teacherā
ā¢ It leads to professional burnout.
ā¢ Often it is a wasted effort; teachers play catch up when
giving written feedback.
ā¢ Immediate oral feedback can be the most useful mode of
feedback, whereas the time-lag on written feedback can
too often render it redundant.
ā¢ Teachers are in danger of having little time or energy to
concentrate upon the good feedback that really matters for
improving learning.
ā¢ There is no getting around the fact that feedback is
necessary and often it can prove very time-consuming.

studentsā learning.

21. Learning adapts as a result of
feedback
ā¢ Common Errors ā identifying common errors across a number of
learnersā work ā oral feedback
ā¢ Re-teach (or tweak) ā Spot the āgapā in learning and go back and
address it again if necessary. Plan the re-teach/ tweak: What,
When, How & Why? This is a powerful way to improve the teaching
programme whilst things are still fresh in everyoneās mind.
ā¢ Student Response to Feedback Required? ā Once youāve spent time
giving feedback students must go back and either correct errors, redo
areas of their work that needs improvement or apply targets to
future work. āFeedback is only successful if students use it to
improve their performanceā Dylan Wiliam
22. DIRT timeāActing upon feedback
What: Give students an allocated period of time to
engage and act upon feedback. Jackie Beere 2014
How: Plan dedicated time within lessons or schemes. This
can come in the form of a starter activity, end of a lesson
task or a dedicated lesson during a scheme.
Why: Feedback can easily be forgotten about or simply not
acted upon. Creating dedicated time means the gap
between where they are and where they should be can be
closed
26. What: Use previous feedback/feedforward as starting
target for new work.
How: Students write their feedforward targets on new
work / target log. Gap in the last piece of work is visible
and in mind when working on their new piece.
Why: Students easily forget or ignore feedback. Provides
clear criteria for which students work towards in their new
piece.
Feedforward as a starting pointā
Using feedback as future learning

DFE March 2016 āEliminating unnecessary
workload around markingā

what the marking needs to achieve for pupils
ā¢ To take into account the workload for staff
ā¢ For the feed forward to be more effective in
the long term

your departments/ school with regard to feedback or
