“I’m a really big fan of strategies that push feedback into the learning process. Feedback is this incredible driver for student learning, but ... when we give students feedback on their work and they no longer have the ability to build on or revise that work, most of the research says they just ignore it.”

— Drew Schrader, School Program Manager, Challenge Success
