PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MATTERS

The most opportune moment for learning is when someone receives feedback on a completed task.
The pressure is off. There is no summative judgment yet, and the recipient has every opportunity to improve on their first try. But will they? It turns out that improvement depends entirely on how the student receives feedback on their work, and what they choose to do with it.

In this interactive session for teachers of primary and secondary, participants will explore a variety of feedback methods and scenarios, and examine the various possible ways to increase student achievement. This applies to all subjects that incorporate regular formative assessment and feedback throughout a unit of work.
Based on the research of Hattie, Timperley, Black and Wiliam, as well as my own first-hand classroom action research, teachers will take away concrete strategies to increase student achievement levels (and maybe even save time marking homework!)
