Seven Keys to Effective Feedback😄

Feedback can be beneficial within a classroom because it will result in a better performance and it can enhance a students achievement. Feedback is when there are comments made after something is completed which can include; advice, praise and evaluation. Feedback is when you are told how you are doing in order to be successful. In order for effective feedback, that student has to have a goal and they must try and reach that goal. The information within the feedback has to relate to the goal. I learned that information is only feedback you are trying to cause something and if you tell them that they are right, on the same track or if they need to make changes. In school, one problem is that, students can often be unsure about the goal and criteria. I can give effective feedback by stating what I want the outcome of the assignment to be or possibly how you want them to react. For example you can tell the student that "The point of this writing task is for you to make readers laugh". Useful feedback does not only consist of a clear goal, it can also consist of tangible results that are involved with the goal. For example. We learn from tangible feedback because that is how we learn to drive, walk, eat or go to the bathroom. I learned that when the information is either tangible or transparent, we do not often learn from it. We don't learn from it because we are sometimes unaware of it and we do not bother to find it. Effective feedback also gives us actionable information. An example of actionable feedback is can be, "good work!". Actionable feedback must also be acknowledged and interpreted by the student. User-friendly stated that when giving feedback, it is important that the feedback is appropriate and understandable to the child in which you are giving it to. The feedback has to be specific because if it is not clear, the feedback will not be useful to the student if they are overwhelmed and don't understand what you are trying to say.  When being a teacher, you have to give feedback in a timely manner. It is important that we give feedback as soon as possible because the students will still have the knowledge on the topic and they will be attentive in what they learned.
