What the research says about feedback….
“Feedback. It’s the moment in the learning process when students
get the most personalized instruction possible.”
-Starr Sackstein, 2017-

“Formative assessment, consisting of lots of feedback

and opportunities to use that feedback, enhances
performance and achievement.”
-Grant Wiggins, 2012-

information that tells them whether or not they are doing the right thing.
Learning in the classroom is no exception.”
- Marianne Stenger, 2014-
