‘An outstanding teacher is different to a good teacher… being outstanding isn’t a tick list, if you get an outstanding in a one off lesson doesn’t make you an outstanding teacher, being outstanding is so much more than that’ @Cat_Chowdhary xitter.cf/i/spaces/1eaKbrWyWjkKX

What is outstanding feedback? “When I have done book scrutinies and see ‘well done’ and ‘good’ - as much as it’s nice to see those words - it doesn’t serve a purpose: praise can be given in a much more structured way” says @Cat_Chowdhary xitter.cf/i/spaces/1eaKbrWyWjkKX

The power of #feedback is so important. Students need to know exactly what it is they must do to improve and what steps they need to take to get there. 🌟 Be clear with your instructions. 🌟 Have a clear success criteria. 🌟 Feedback on what steps need to be taken to improve.

#Feedback can significantly impact student progress, when done well. As Clarke and Hattie point out - "Feedback given but not heard is of little use".
