Why doesn't it stick?
Grades culture
Unsure of what the feedback means
Fear of failure
Mass feedback = poor work culture
Incorrect feedback from peers
Task not learning orientated feedback
No time for improvement
End of the line feedback
Too much writing
Too much in one go
Too long between feedback
Prefer verbal feedback
Forget verbal feedback
No follow up

What we say......
Is it feedback? Is it advice?
Is it marking? Is it anything?
"Just in time, just for me, just for where I am in the learning process and just what I need to help me move forward"
