Episode 28: Feedback is More Than a Score

from The Fires in Grading · host Garth Larson, Becky Peppler, Don Smith

If feedback is one of the highest-impact instructional practices in education, why is it often missing from the grading process? Together, we explore the difference between grades and meaningful feedback, why students frequently ignore feedback, how traditional grading practices can unintentionally stop learning, and what schools can do to shift students from asking “What did I get?” to “What do I need next?” The conversation also highlights practical classroom strategies educators can use immediately to make feedback more impactful and learning-centered.Learn more about our sponsors: Otus: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://hubs.li/Q03StGb_0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠STAGR Center:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://firsteducation-us.com/stagr⁠⁠⁠
