Feedback Made Easy: The 7 Essentials for Standards Check Success

If you’re aiming for a GRADE A on your Standards Check or Part 3, mastering how you give feedback is essential. It’s not just about telling learners what to do – it’s about helping them understand why they’re making certain decisions behind the wheel.

When feedback is delivered effectively, it empowers learners to think for themselves, build confidence, and make better, safer decisions independently. That’s the kind of development assessors are looking for – and the kind of skill that gets results.

In this focused online session, I’ll show you how to make feedback feel simple and natural. Whether you’re already qualified or still training, you’ll take away practical techniques that you can apply straight away. This isn’t theory for theory’s sake – it’s about real-world use in your lessons.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel more confident using feedback as a powerful teaching tool – one that supports your pupils’ progress and moves you closer to that Grade A outcome.

Here’s what you’ll learn during the session:

1. The key benefits of clear, well-structured feedback
2. When to encourage student-led feedback – and why it works
3. When to use instructor-led feedback to guide decision-making
4. How to confidently receive feedback yourself – and why it matters
5. Understanding and using the feedback loop effectively
6. Different types of scaling – and when to use them
7. How to connect your feedback approach to the Gibbs Reflective Cycle

Whether you’re new to the profession or preparing for your next big assessment, this session will sharpen your approach and strengthen your results.
