Responding to Student Work Even Better and Even Faster
Better, Faster Feedback is a course that builds upon the principles presented in my bestselling book Flash Feedback: Responding to Student Writing Better and Faster -- Without Burning Out.
The goal of the course is the same as the original book: To help you to reclaim those nights and weekends from student papers while also using improved knowledge of feedback best practices to provide even better instruction.
To do that this course offers refined and improved models and updated classroom materials based on the core ideas from the book -- the pyramid of response, the feedback cycle, student self-assessment -- while also introducing a host of new better, faster feedback practices like feedback literacy, two-way feedback, and discussion of AI and tech feedback tools.
The course includes the following:
- 30 modules over four units, providing nearly 3 hours of video content
- Materials and approaches taken directly from my classes
- Links to curated videos and articles for more feedback reading and viewing.
- Two live problem-solving webinars
- Forever access to my quarterly feedback review: A quarterly post only for those in the class about the newest advances, articles, and discoveries in the field of feedback, along with how my own practices are evolving

Let's Make Feedback a Friend Together
Students and teachers alike often dread feedback. For teachers, feedback can be the genesis of lost evenings, weekends, and balance. For students, it can be scary, confusing, and embarrassing. But it doesn't have to be this way. It can be a powerful bridge between teacher and student -- one that builds student skills, positive student identities, and a strong relationship between the teacher and student. And it can do all of that in less time than one might think! Come find out how.
