Each week, I publish a post or two containing three or four particularly useful resources on classroom instruction, and you can see them all here.

You can also see all my “Best” lists on instructional strategies here.

Here are this week’s picks:

How do we maximise the impact of whole-class feedback ? is from Class Teaching. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning How To Best Give Feedback To Students.

Six Ways of Subverting Tests is from Six Things. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About Effective Student & Teacher Assessments.

What Is Mistake Literacy? The Research Of Learning Through Failure is from Teach Thought. I’m adding it to The Best Posts, Articles & Videos About Learning From Mistakes & Failures.

Empowering Middle School Students to Create Their Own Scaffolds is from Edutopia. I’m adding it to The Best Resources On Providing Scaffolds To Students.

I did a talk about formative assessment and the science of learning at the @LearningandtheB conference in New York last month, and @Inner_Drive‘s @BradleyKBusch was kind enough to write up some notes. He also asked me some follow-up questions: https://t.co/5zllYomqZD
