NQT Developing Teaching and Learning Skills: Assessment for Learning
The Sutton Trust and work from John Hattie shows that giving good feedback (including recognition, praise, clear next steps, appropriate questioning and effective AfL including marking) are powerful strategies for promoting rapid progress. It's easy to 'over support' a pupil and feel they have achieved the task ' but who did most of the work? Learn how to be comfortable with discomfort ' through questioning, probing, pausing and promoting student independence. This workshop session will look at what constitutes feedback, and how teachers can effectively harness these approaches.
