I wanted to read this to get some ideas for my feedback as a high school teacher and online instructor. A lot of the book was more applicable to schoolteachers, but there were some things that could apply to feedback in any situation. I highlighted a lot in the book, but I will share my biggest takeaways:
1. Three questions should drive feedback:
What am I trying to achieve?
How much progress have I made so far?
What should I do next?
2. Students should be actively involved in the feedback process—not just passive recipients.
3. Feedback should be more work for the recipient than the donor.
4. Feedback should help students know “what a good one looks like.”
We need to be better about providing feedback that shows students “what a good one looks like.” The authors also suggests that teachers act as “coaches” and not “referees.” We need to provide feedback that instructs rather than just calls students on mistakes.

In a sense I wish that I had read this book at uni whilst studying to be a teacher….but perhaps 6 years into my career is the perfect time to appreciate the core message of the book.
The beauty of this book is the ease in which it can be applied to your classroom straight away. I’ve had ideas in my head for years that I’ve wanted to apply but not really had a framework to do so, until reading this book. I found the Hattie texts interesting from a theoretical point of view but not easily applicable to an individual classroom. This is the framework that has helped structure feedback for me. The Learning Challenge text looks like my next book to read. Great text for any teacher wanting to give more structure to their lessons and feedback in particular.
5 Stars. Off to make some mistakes!
