In the second example, the teacher gave a specific response based on Emilio’s answer and provided information that allowed him to answer correctly, both of which enhance learning though effective feedback. In contrast to Leroy, Emilio not only understands why his first answer was incorrect, but has also been given the opportunity to answer correctly. (As we saw in our discussion of teacher expectations, the quality of the teacher’s feedback often depends on the teacher’s expectations for the student involved. It’s easy to slide into lowered expectations, which result in superficial feedback, which in the long run lowers achievement.)
