If feedback in classrooms is predominately task-level in nature, this suggests feedback in classrooms will be more about quantity, not quality, neglecting the future-focused feed-forward advice that can guide students toward improvement. https://t.co/bm4VBJMbeM

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@tombennett71 Educators should read George Bonnano’s book on the topic. Truly excellent. https://t.co/ruoKYcFaJy

Teaching some vs teaching all. This is where the action for improvement lies. https://t.co/mnWYPon7JU > In most schools I visit, nailing this agenda could be THE agenda - nothing more needed. In fact anything more is a distraction from this.

[Matt Woodfine @MattTheApp]

If you downloaded the resource yesterday morning, you’ll now find two extra rounds added to the 2025 quiz 😁

I’ll keep updating the file under the same link if I come up with more!
