It's not about grades; it's about learning! When teachers provide effective feedback, they become learning coaches for their students. Learning coaches share strategies and techniques to help students succeed. An individual teacher can have a powerful effect on students when they improve student achievement through effective feedback. To maximize this possibility, many feedback phrasing suggestions will be provided for improving achievement in successful, struggling, and reluctant students.
