  16. Providing Feedback “The most powerful single modification that enhances student achievement is feedback. The simple prescription for improving education must be ‘dollops of feedback’” (Hattie, 1992, p. 9). Robert Marzano, Classroom Instruction that Works Chapter 8, p. 96

  17. Feedback, the Breakfast of Champions Dr Robert Marzano: Powerful feedback is • Corrective • Timely • Specific • Self monitoring

  18. Providing Feedback • Feedback should be specific to a criterion. Criterion-referenced feedback tells students where they stand relative to a specific target of knowledge or skill. --Marzano, 2001, p. 185.

Discuss the non-descriptive statements. Reword them to help students answer “Where am I now?”, “Where do I need to be?” • Star three successful statements of descriptive feedback. • Circle three non-descriptive statements of feedback.
