Provide Targeted Feedback* [1] — Individual
Strategy: Prioritized information about how students’ performance does or does not meet the criteria so they can understand how to improve their future performance
Process: Instructor with each assignment:
- Prioritizes the feedback: consider “what information will be most useful to students at a particular point in time” (p. 149). Focus on a single dimension of performance at a time
- Balances strengths and weaknesses: consider what aspects of performance must be “maintained and built upon” (p. 149), and “what aspects should be adjusted (and ideally, how)” (p. 149)
- Addresses subsequent performance when students have the capacity to incorporate that feedback into further practice (p. 141)
- Provides more repetition of assignments within the same genre, incorporates feedback into subsequent assignments (p. 141)
