A Measuring Stick for Feedback

So, how can I check to see if my feedback is connecting to students?  According to Susan M. Brookhart,

Student response is the criterion against which you can evaluation your own feedback.  Your feedback is good if it gets the following results:

• Your students do learn--their work does improve.
• Your students become more motivated--they believe they can learn, they want to learn, and they take more control over their own learning.
• Your classroom becomes a place where feedback, including constructive criticism, is valued and viewed as productive.

Well,this is the measuring stick--my personal performance target. I will revisit it over the next month as I work to improve the quality of feedback that I provide for my students.
