Media Reviews
In ‘The Feedback Pendulum’ Michael Chiles provides insights and examples for tackling the fact that feedback, as we all know, does not always have the desired impact. This thought provoking, practical book helps us get there. It is time, colleagues, to tackle head on, the ghastliness and laziness of generic feedback. It is time to get shot of quality assurance that relies on book scrutiny and the amount of marking in pupils’ books. It is time to have proper conversations about the power of feedback to improve the work of pupils and professionals: ‘The Feedback Pendulum’ is a great starting point. -- Mary Myatt * Educational consultant and author *
Feedback is an essential topic for every teacher and school leader. It can impact positively, or negatively, on pupils' learning and on teachers' workload. Too often though, schools are prone to damaging feedback fads. Perhaps the truth of these fads is that school teachers and leaders are uncertain about what feedback really means. Chiles' book is a helpful, pragmatic antidote to those all-too-common feedback fads. It synthesises a range of interesting evidence, voices from leaders and teachers, alongside practical approaches, to build a rich picture of what makes for effective feedback. As such, it provides vital food for thought for teachers and leaders of all stripes. -- Alex Quigley
