Why is Student Feedback Important?
No single measure can capture the complexity of learning and
teaching.
When combined with other measures, student feedback can be a
powerful tool to inform teacher practice and improve outcomes for
students.
Measures should be complementary to capture comprehensive
information about what’s most important for student learning, both in
their present learning experiences and in their future endeavors.

future”—were 30 times as likely to be engaged at school
as students who strong disagree with those statements.
