Learners receive specific feedback when learning tasks and/or learning outcomes are completed.

Specific Feedback:

• provides information about the completion of learning tasks and the accomplishment of learning outcomes

• provides specific criteria and procedures by which learners can judge their own completion of tasks and accomplishment of learning outcomes

Learners in a fourth-grade music class volunteer to write the names of lines and spaces for a staff on the chalkboard. The teacher repeats the name of each note with the class and reinforces the accuracy of the learner’s response. When the task is complete, the teacher points out strengths and weaknesses of learners’ responses.

In a tenth-grade geometry class, learners are assigned individual problem sets to complete. The teacher monitors learners’ responses, individually checks their answers for completeness and correctness, and provides individual learners with feedback. Early finishers work on the day’s home learning assignment.
