The Who of Feedback

In our last episode, we focused on the "Why of Feedback”. We established that "Feedback" plays a crucial role in student learning as it enables them to correct or improve their work and gain new knowledge. In this episode, the "Who of Feedback,” we identify the different individuals who provide feedback. In the classroom, the teacher typically is the first person who comes to mind when we think of who gives feedback. However, we have identified that feedback can come from students doing a personal critique of their work or providing feedback to their peers and teachers.  References: Brookhart, S. M.
