Slide 4.2.3<br />
Explain the following.<br />
• Effective <strong>feedback</strong> depends on pupils being clear about what is expected of<br />
them and what they can expect from the teacher. Pupils should expect the<br />
<strong>feedback</strong> they receive to explain what they have done well with reasons, and<br />
where and how they can improve. Where this is the case they are more likely<br />
to engage with its content.<br />
• The learning objectives and learning outcomes should be used as the<br />
benchmark for the teacher’s oral and written <strong>feedback</strong>. They should be<br />
shared and made clear to pupils in advance of attempting the task. For<br />
example, if the learning outcome for the pupil is to be able to write a letter to<br />
a headteacher persuading him to agree to a school council, it is not<br />
appropriate for the <strong>feedback</strong> to concentrate simply on spelling and<br />
grammar – it should focus more on the use of appropriate conventions for<br />
persuasive writing in a formal context which will have been taught<br />
beforehand.<br />
• Pupils should be given written <strong>feedback</strong> that provides clear evaluation of<br />
their strengths and weaknesses, prompts further thought and reasoning,<br />
and identifies the next step in their learning.<br />
• To be able to identify the next steps in pupils’ learning, teachers need an<br />
understanding of subject progression and to be able to recognise pupils’<br />
misconceptions and difficulties.<br />
