1. Setting the scene-Feedback is a way to personalise learning for each student

Discuss Hattie and Clarke Write comments on wiki

2. Each teacher provides a hard copy of a piece of work where they've provided feedback to a student. From the feedback that we look at we'll develop success criteria for what we see as effective feedback. Don't stress about the student work that you offer to the group as we are using this purely as a tool for discussion and creating success criteria.

Create success criteria Discuss: When, how, where is the best time to give feedback?

3. Look at action plan from last PLT What is working well, what needs to change, what next? = ==================================================================== =
