A teacher’s secret weapon is the feedback she/he gives to a student. One knows when the feedback is effective when a student improves their outcomes and achievement.
Teachers spend a lot of time marking tasks and assignments students submit. Too often teachers under-cut their ‘secret power’ when the put the student’s grade at the top of the paper with their feedback below- students (like most humans) look at the grade and then file the assignment never looking at the feedback, hence missing the opportunity to grow from it. Consider either using peers to provide initial feedback aligned to the rubric or AI without giving students the summative grade.
