Rarely does a professional book combine conceptual clarity, research depth and immediate classroom usability so effectively. John Hattie.
You invest hours crafting thoughtful feedback. Students spend seconds looking at it.
They skim comments, correct surface details, or ask Is this good?-not because your feedback lacks quality, but because they haven't yet learned how to identify what they need or seek the right help. Guidance that should accelerate learning stalls, through no fault of teacher expertise.
This isn't a feedback problem. It's a learner capability problem.
From Feedback to Advice shows how to develop students who actively seek the help they need and act on it with purpose. By making your thinking visible-revealing the feedback process you've always managed internally-you help students understand how improvement actually works. Through six progressive stages, James Anderson presents a practical pathway for developing students' capacity to direct their own improvement.
You'll learn how to cultivate students who:
- Shift from Is this good? to Here's what I've tried, and here's where I need help
- Understand and navigate the improvement process themselves
- Identify their learning gaps and present evidence of their attempts
- Request specific, purposeful advice rather than waiting for evaluation
- Take increasing ownership of their learning-lesson by lesson, year by year
This isn't a book about writing better comments. It's a book about developing the learner capability that makes feedback matter.
With practical strategies for primary and secondary classrooms, and a clear progression leaders can implement school-wide, this book offers a systematic approach to strengthening learner expertise.
When students develop the capability to seek the help they need-and act on it-feedback finally works as intended. Learning accelerates. And the improvement process you once carried alone becomes a genuine partnership.
