Whole-Class Feedback: Tips for Teachers by Craig Barton

The Tips give clear guidance on effective teacher feedback, stressing approaches that improve learning without increasing workload. They highlight the limitations of traditional written marking and advocate for more efficient strategies such as whole-class feedback and precise verbal feedback. Strong principles emerge: build solid instruction first, provide well-timed and focused feedback, and plan how pupils will understand and act on it. The resources also note that feedback effectiveness depends on factors like motivation, confidence, and school culture, urging leaders to design feedback policies grounded in pedagogy rather than arbitrary rules or marking routines.
