3. Defining Immediate Feedback Immediate feedback provides teachers and students with data. Specifically: Are students’ needs being met? Is the learning target being met? Is the lesson on track to meet the mastery objective? Immediate feedback can be produced in diverse forms. Immediate feedback can be external or internal.
