Content: Because the best teachers never do. 6. You’re a learning feedback machine. You know what useful feedback looks and sounds like. And feels like for the student. Most of your assessments are brief but insightful snapshots of what students understand. This makes it easy to give immediate feedback—often during the same class. You use technology (e.g., like Kaizena) to give in-depth feedback on writing without costing you your weekend. You design collaboration so that students can usefully provide one another feedback when you can’t—using sentence stems that scaffold the task for them, for example. In short, you give students–or arrange for them to receive in some other way–consistent feedback that they can understand and use.
