The UCL Verbal Feedback Project explored the impact of verbal feedback approaches on outcomes for disadvantaged students in Years 7 and 8.
The UCL Verbal Feedback Project explored the impact of verbal feedback approaches on outcomes for disadvantaged students in years 7 and 8, particularly in terms of student engagement (including written, non-verbal and verbal responses). The project contributes to the research base around verbal feedback and also explore the implications for teacher workload.
The Verbal Feedback Project was developed in collaboration with the UCL London Centre for Leadership in Learning and Ross McGill (@TeacherToolkit). The project offers participants advice and guidance to develop their expertise in verbal feedback techniques, and also implement a practitioner research model that will measure project impact.

In a climate of high-stakes accountability, this research is timely for teachers across the UK to help strip back the marking burden and challenge the notion that written feedback is the best form of assessment. It could be ground-breaking!
