Feedback may not be immediately understood

• 
  Individuals can dominate question and answer sessions and extended oral feedback slows down learning for others in the class.
  

– ‘No hands up’ questioning is an excellent way of ensuring time for reflection, involving all pupils in thinking and enabling teachers to target and support individuals.

– If instant oral feedback reveals the need for more extended interaction with an individual, which will not be of benefit to the class, make time later, such as during independent work.

– Feed back to the whole class when it is relevant, using methods other than questioning, e.g. demonstration, or check pupils’ understanding by silent methods, e.g. whiteboards or ‘show me’ activities.

• Time for individual feedback is limited.

– Utilise small group or guided work on a regular basis to offer feedback to pupils with similar needs.

– Establish understanding that periodic reviews or coaching sessions will be available to all pupils on a rotation basis.
