Student feedback is a specific written or verbal response to a student's academic or behavioral performance, helping them recognize what they did well and what needs improvement. In this course, you will learn a specific, structured method for giving feedback to students that can help improve student performance while praising their strengths.
This course will guide you in completing a full feedback plan for your students, starting with identifying specific behaviors for the student to focus on, praising strengths, and offering constructive and actionable feedback for a specific area of improvement. You will be aided in providing this feedback to students in the future using 23 templates and samples ready to be implemented into the classroom.
