Giving Feedback on Written Assignments

This class is designed to provide quick, helpful instructions for parents/guardians who would like to learn more about how to give meaningful feedback on written assignments. It's primarily geared for those who will be working with middle and high school learners.

This class is included for free with certain self-paced writing classes from Dayla Learning. It can also be purchased separately for those who would like to use the advice in conjunction with a different writing curriculum or for their own assignments.

Content is broken down into four sections with videos. The first three sections include a takeaway handout and reflection activities. There are also optional links and resources embedded throughout for further exploration.
