The Art of Effective Feedback

Workshop Description

Providing effective feedback is a crucial element in improving student performance and fostering a growth-oriented learning environment. This interactive workshop is designed to equip educators and senior school leaders with the skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality, research-based feedback that supports student learning and achievement.

Participants will explore the essential components of effective feedback, focusing on its purpose, characteristics, and impact on teaching and learning. The workshop will delve into the theoretical foundations of feedback, highlighting how it can drive student success and engagement. Participants will gain an understanding of the different types of feedback—verbal, written, and digital—and how each can be effectively used to support various learning styles and needs.

Participants will engage in various activities, including analyzing real-life examples of feedback, evaluating their effectiveness, and redesigning them to meet best practice standards. Additionally, the workshop will introduce practical tools like rubrics and checklists, which can help educators provide structured and consistent feedback that aligns with clearly defined learning objectives.

The session will also explore how feedback can be used as a motivational tool, helping students to take ownership of their learning journey. By learning how to frame feedback in a way that encourages self-reflection and intrinsic motivation, educators can foster a classroom environment where students are empowered to strive for continuous improvement.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to differentiate between effective and ineffective feedback, understand how to use feedback as a powerful tool to enhance student learning outcomes, and apply these insights to create a more supportive and productive learning environment.
