Feedback for Learning

This issue will look at multiple forms of effective feedback. What does research say about the optimal frequency, timeliness, and content of feedback? Which assessment practices furnish effective feedback? Which ones don't? How do teachers effectively respond to student projects and group work? What kinds of feedback from other sources—for example, from fellow students, community experts, social media, or computer programs—push students to grow? How can teachers differentiate feedback to meet the needs of all their students?

Creating, Cultivating, and Sustaining a Culture of Achievement

ASCD

A school's culture makes a difference, for good or ill, in the lives of students and educators. The culture of a school is also a major factor that helps cultivate and promote student achievement. High expectations for students' learning and behavior helps focus students' classroom effort and promotes mutual support among all stakeholders—students, school leaders and staff, and parents.

This issue of ASCD Express provides examples and advice about what schools need to create a positive school culture that best supports student learning and achievement.
