Evidence for Learning works with organisations to map the Toolkit to their school improvement frameworks.
Loop supports teachers to collect feedback from their students, quickly and in real-time.
Feedback is private to the teacher collecting it. Teachers can reply to individual feedback items to gain a richer understanding of their feedback.
Loop improves educational outcomes through:
- Empowering teachers to reflect through feedback
- Increasing student engagement with lessons
- Providing school leadership with anonymised data to understand school-wide progress
Loop can be used to facilitate feedback between teachers and also between students.
Improvement Framework: Loop core questions
| Toolkit approach | Core question |
| Feedback |
I understand the learning intention of each class. I understand the success criteria for each class. Feedback on my work shows me how I can improve further where it is needed. |
| Social and emotional learning |
My teacher respects me. My ideas are respected in class. |
| Meta-cognition and self-regulation |
I can help in class when I need it. I reflect on what I have learned at the end of each lesson. |
| Behaviour interventions | The class environment lets me get on with my work. |
| Individualised instruction | New work is connected with things I already know. |
| Collaborative learning | I have the opportunity to contribute to the learning of others. |
| Mastery learning |
I challenge myself in the class. I am able to apply my learning. |
| The homework I do supports and develops my learning. | |
| Is there any other feedback you'd like to provide? | |
| I would like to make the following comments about my learning in this subject. |
