Feedback is a powerful tool in education, and effective feedback greatly enhances student learning and achievement. 

When students are learning a new skill, they need to be encouraged or receive some information that tells them whether they are doing the right thing. 

When our tutors provide frequent, constructive, instructive, and ongoing feedback, it can bridge the gap between current and desired student outcomes. It is a means of improving achievement in learning.

Effective feedback can also increase motivation, build on existing knowledge, and help students reflect on what they have learnt. 

For feedback to be effective, it needs to:

• Timely! It needs to be immediate or soon after. 
• Specific! Relate the feedback to the students personal learning goals.
• Directive! Make connections to inform the student where we will go next in the learning to achieve the goals.
• Positive! Supportive language highlighting student progress and achievements.

Frequent feedback to parents and families about their child’s learning progress in tutoring sessions gets them involved in the learning process and is proven to be an effective. At Hop Skip Jump Learning we give regular feedback to parents after sessions, check-in phone calls as well as an end of term report!

We are all about giving critical and meaningful feedback at Hop Skip Jump Learning as we know that it can create a positive influence on student achievement. This is why we give regular feedback to both students and families.
