  ❓ Q4: How do you provide multiple approaches for student learning? #BetterTogetherCA

The more precise, direct, and doable the feedback is the easier it should be to be self-directed. #BettertogetherCA

Making feedback relevant to students' personal goals taps into their motivation. Also giving a specific task to work on. #BetterTogetherCA
