This course explores strategies for delivering meaningful, actionable feedback in secondary classrooms. Participants will learn how to use rubrics and align feedback with adolescent development while fostering a feedback-rich culture where student peer and self-reflection enhance learning. Through reflection and practical activities, teachers will refine their feedback practices to support student growth and improvement.

"I really enjoyed this course, it was really practical and the strategies and resources will really help my teaching practice."
"This has been excellent in academic rigor and practical application. I particularly appreciated the PDFs and videos. The PDFs I will revisit."
"The course was easy to follow and provided practical tips for improving feedback. The downloads were helpful as I can refer to them at a later date. I particularly liked the concept of a feedback audit. It put the emphasis back on me to improve rather than on the students to improve their use of feedback."
"Great resources and easy to implement strategies for both teachers & students to develop a positive feedback culture."
