Feedback and Feedforward

What do you know about feedback and feedforward?

Feedback and Feedforward provide feedback on current learning to inform what is needed to support future learning (Hattie, Timperley 2007) and raises students’ motivation.

DMS Students and teachers have collaboratively set learning goals to answer the questions “Where am I going in my learning?” and “What do I need to get there?”

These are personalized for each student and connect new learning to prior learning. Learning goals are revisited throughout the learning process to monitor progress.

In PYP schools, personal learning goals support the creation of high expectations by:

• making learning transparent to the teacher, the student and their families

• building a shared understanding of what learning is to be achieved

• encouraging reflection and focused feedback

• inviting students to take ownership of their own learning.
