Feedback is essential for learning! The Playbook emphasizes the Four Cs of Feedback:
Care—create a culture in which teachers, students, and leaders embrace feedback as a continuous loop of giving, receiving, and integrating suggestion
Credibility—know how to stoke relatability, dynamism, and trust—and avoid the three most common barriers to students’ acting on feedback
Clarity—align your learning goals, success criteria, and strategies so you gain the most useful evidence during learning from which to generate feedback
Communication—give feedback with intention by speaking to the task, or to the learner’s process, or to the learner’s ability to monitor their own progress
