• Element 3: How will I celebrate success?

Summary

Effective feedback—the first of three overarching categories in part 1—begins with clearly defined and articulated learning goals. When teachers make expectations transparent so students understand what they are to learn within a lesson or unit, students can determine how well they are performing and what they need to do to improve. Once teachers focus on providing and communicating clear learning goals, they can direct their attention to using effective assessments.
