Learning is inherently social, built on the daily interactions in the classroom. What if feedback -- from teacher to student, between students, from student to teacher -- could be seen as essential, not merely as part of student assessment, but as an ongoing process that defines the learning environment? This groundbreaking book explores using feedback to help students become better learners, examines the crucial use of verbal and nonverbal language to engage and guide students, and shows strategies and activities to establish and promote effective feedback within the classroom and beyond.
