Course Details

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 student achievement when they maximize the possibility of improving student achievement through effective feedback. Lots of ideas will be provided in how to phrase feedback to improve achievement for successful, struggling, and reluctant students.
