Robert Marzano (2001) Providing feedback yields a 23 percentile gain John Hattie (2009) Feedback has an effect size of 1.13.

EMERGING RESEARCH • Questions yet to be answered: Is it more effective • In certain subject areas? • At certain grade levels? • With students from different backgrounds? • For students with different aptitudes? • With fixed vs. growth mindset? • From teacher, self, or peers?
LOGICAL CONCLUSIONS • How it is used to improve and guide teaching and learning is primary. • Reasonable Recommendations • Use feedback as part of a spectrum of strategies • Use feedback selectively based on students and setting • Use feedback responsively to inform instruction
TAKE-AWAYS The mistake I was making was seeing feedback as something teachers provided to students… it was only when I discovered when it is from the student to the teacher that I started to understand it better. (Hattie, p. 173) Please leave behind: Two stars (what will take away?) and one wish (what else do you need?)
