Providing Feedback
//"The instructional strategy providing feedback focuses on formative assessment: giving students information about how well they are performing relative to a particular learning goal so they can improve their practice."// (p.41)

Generalizations from McREL's research:
1. Feedback should be corrective in nature. 2. Feedback should be timely. 3. Feedback should be specific to a criterion. 4. Students can effectively provide som of their own feedback. (p.41)
