Feed Back, Up, & Forward

Feed Up: Where am I going? 
Feed Back: How is it going? 
Feed Forward: Where am I going next?

"Working toward a challenging goal positively affects student achievement regardless of who sets the goal. Although teaching students to set goals is important, it is the process of feeding them forward toward an appropriately challenging goal that creates student buy‑in. When teachers give feedback to students who have no commitment to reaching the learning target, the feedback packs little punch. Conversely, asking students to set goals without giving them the benefit of teacher feedback packs no learning punch at all."
-Locke & Latham, 1990
