A short excerpt:

Perhaps it’s just the new buzz word of the moment or maybe it’s the missing piece in how we make feedback more meaningful, but actionable feedback means not only identifying what needs improvement, but also offering a plan of action to make the necessary improvement possible.

It’s easy enough to tell a person what’s wrong with their writing or a math set but it is a whole other thing to help them understand how to tackle the challenge and start to improve it. This is clearly more important than naming the problem.

Too often in education we spend time naming problems rather solving them. We talk about what’s wrong at length instead of living in solutions.

Actionable feedback is where the solutions begin….”
