Overview

Does your school provide consistent, effective feedback to pupils?

Research summarised in the Sutton Trust/Education Endowment Foundation Toolkit shows that high quality pupil feedback has an average impact of eight additional months of progress for pupils.

This course aims to improve your teachers’ skills in preparing for, giving, and getting effective feedback and enabling, noticing and responding effectively to pupils’ contributions.

Our course content partner is the Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education (CUREE).
