UCET 2021

Providing students with specific and timely feedback is an important part of ensuring student success. In a remote learning situation, feedback becomes absolutely essential. Grant Wiggins goes beyond asking teachers to provide feedback. He implores teachers to spend less time teaching and more time providing effective feedback. He also provides evidence that less teaching and more feedback yields better results.

This session will highlight the need to spend more time providing feedback in order to help students achieve desired learning outcomes. We will consider the remote teaching and learning environment and examine how teachers can capitalize on this environment to provide effective feedback that will ultimately produce greater learning. We will consider what effective feedback "looks like" and how teachers can build a remote learning environment that focuses more on feedback and less on teaching.
