Classroom Feedback

Feedback is one of education’s most powerful influences—and one of its most misunderstood. This evidence-rich book challenges many myths that consume teachers’ time but do little to improve learning. It replaces recipes with something far more valuable: a practical way to judge what feedback works, for whom, and under what conditions, and begs the question was the feedback heard, understood, and actionable. -- John Hattie
As someone who has spent much of my career researching classroom assessment and feedback, I know how rare it is to find a book that treats student engagement with feedback as seriously as the feedback itself!  This volume offers exactly the evidence base and practical insight the field has been waiting for. A masterful and highly accessible overview of the field, which will inspire both researchers, practitioners, and everyone else who consider themselves life-long learners.  -- Therese N. Hopfenbeck
"Teachers devote enormous time and care to giving feedback. But how much of it actually helps students learn? What if some of our most familiar feedback practices are less effective than we think? This accessible, research-informed guide challenges common myths about feedback, reveals what really makes a difference to learning, and equips teachers with practical strategies to turn feedback into meaningful student progress."
