Students need to experience small successes along the way to help keep them motivated.Link feedback given to the lesson objective or success criteria to make it more meaningful to the students. In the long run, this will also improve the quality of their work as a result of a better understanding of the criteria.BEST MOMENTS: "Make your team aware of how to give specific feedback" "Feedback shouldn't be a one-way street" "Live feedback there and then in the classroom" "I armed my teaching assistants with a pen" "We need to provide support for our students so that they can do this effectively" VALUABLE RESOURCES: Patreon = Mastering teaching EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT: Stretch Those Minds: 9 Proven Strategies to Challenge Gifted Learners ABOUT THE HOST: Since embarking on her teaching journey in 2009, Tem has been on a mission to empower students to reach their fullest potential.
