Overview

Giving students good feedback on all their schoolwork is one of the toughest challenges every teacher faces. But here at last is a DVD that helps teachers always know the right kind of feedback to give, and how to give it, for all kinds of assignments, in every grade level and subject area. Drawing from the ASCD best-selling book How to Give Effective Feedback to Your Students by Susan M. Brookhart, this DVD series is the ideal tool to use in workshops and PLC meetings to convey to teachers the fundamental principles of good feedback, including

• The power of effective feedback to improve student achievement.
  
• Key factors to ensure effective feedback.
  
• Ways to adjust feedback for different kinds of learners, including English language learners.
  
• How to tell when your feedback is working.

Throughout the series, teachers demonstrate lots of written and oral feedback strategies that put students at the center of the learning and help them improve their own performance. Show real teachers using feedback in the formative assessment process to improve the focus of classroom lessons and instructional strategies. Demonstrate how to ensure feedback has the right timing and tone with the optimum amount of content and clarity. An embedded professional development program on each DVD, with accompanying PowerPoint presentation and handouts, ensures teachers get engaged in discovering and applying good feedback with all their students.
