Customer Reviews

Great for any educator!

This is a quick read that fits together with formative assessment so well. I have already recommended it to several peers and they too love it. It really makes one think about the feedback that we give students and the power of simply changing a few words.

Common Sense Feedback

This book renewed/reaffirmed information that I already knew. It discusses many different types of good and bad feedback and when they are appropriate in the classroom. While I was hoping for new information this did reaffirm what I already knew and reminded me of ways to give feedback that I hadn't used in years. This is a wonderful quick read that everyone should read and utilize if you have been in the classroom for over 3 years.

A solid acquisition to any educator, no matter the subject

Too harsh, and you discourage them, too light, and they won't improve. This balance is discussed in great detail, and gives advice on giving good criticism to help their students progress as much as they possibly can.
