Feedback that Feeds

Kaye in Toronto Eating a Sandwich
This paragraph is just too rich not to quote verbatim.
Make sure you go over the last unit's test or assignment before launching into the next unit or assignment.  Feedback isn't "feedback" unless it can truly feed something.  Information delivered too late to be used isn't helpful.  Make sure when you give feedback that there is time built in to actually use the information.  Otherwise students will quickly learn to ignore feedback.  - Susan M. Brookhart in How to Give Effective Feedback to Your Students
