Presenter:
Glen Pearsall Developing practical strategies for encouraging students to take more responsibility for their learning is a very important part of the feedback process. Indeed recent research (Hattie, Timperlay etc.) confirms something that many experienced teachers have suspected for a long time - that student-to-teacher feedback has one of the most transformative effects on student performance of any teaching strategy. Importantly, it also reduces unnecessary correction and makes students more responsive to teacher feedback. The goal of this online workshop is to offer participants practical, easy to use techniques for using this feedback in their classrooms. The session explores a wide range of classroom-tested worksheets, highly engaging revision and reflection games and activities for encouraging students to more carefully review their own work and study habits. The goal of this session is to make feedback more effective for both teacher and student alike.

    | Interesting comment but disappointed with the lack of ongoing feedback, guided discussion, input from presenter (apart from the original preparation of course) |
| We were looking for some PD that targetted the ideas raised in Hattie's work so this course was ideal. The balance of theory/explanation and practical activities was good. |
| Found the suggested activities valuable. Have used them successfully in my classes. |
| good! made me think, i didn't really get as much email reply as i usually do |
| I really enjoyed doing this course. Content was practical and interesting and has provided me with new strategies to use when giving feedback to my students. |
| Picked up some useful tips and techniques. The mixed pace of responses from other members of the course to the forums was a bit of a problem. |
