Annie Murphy Paul is the author of Origins and Brilliant: The New Science of Smart and edits the weekly newsletter Brilliant Report. On the TIME magazine’s website she discusses four ideas of giving effective feedback, in relation to the feedback model of Hattie and Timperley (2007):
1. Supply information about what the learner is doing, rather than simply praise or criticism.
2. Take care in how you present feedback.
3. Orient feedback around goals.
4. Use feedback to build metacognitive skills

Feedback is something that teachers do every single day. In order for feedback to truly be beneficial for the student and their learning, feedback should be intentional with each student. It is important for the teacher to know what types of feedback work with which kids and be able to use the different types to help grow each student. I like how #3 says to ”orient feedback around goals” because goals can be class-wide or individual. Either way, it is targeted for the students.
