As you work with kids, your feedback is so important to help them learn at deeper levels. With that said, I have a question. What kind of feedback do you give your students to help them learn at higher levels? In order to give effective feedback, it must be about the attributes of the student's work, and it should tell them what they must do next in their learning. The slide below by Bill Ferriter perfectly describes the results we will see when we give effective feedback to our students.

Texas has a prepaid college tuition plan, which allows families to lock in tomorrow’s tuition and required fees at Texas public colleges and universities at today’s prices. The plan allows you to purchase tuition units to cover all or a portion of these costs and offers flexible, budget-friendly payment options.
Match the Promise also has a scholarship foundation for qualifying families. Families can save for college by awarding matching scholarships of tuition units worth up to $1,000, and one-time grants of tuition units worth $2,000, at today’s prices. The scholarships are open to students who meet eligibility guidelines. Check out this flyer to get more information about this program.
