📑 It’s Time to Give Feedback Another Chance. Here Are 3 Ways to Get It Right

Bookmarked It’s Time to Give Feedback Another Chance. Here Are 3 Ways to Get It Right (Opinion) by Peter DeWitt (Education Week)

If we are to show our school communities, and the rest of the world for that matter, that our schools are more than child care during the day and that school leaders and teachers engage in learning that is equally as powerful as the learning students are supposed to engage in, then we have to understand what feedback is all about and how it can be impactful.

Peter DeWitt shares three ways to get feedback right, including:

Respecting that feedback is a process, not a one-sided message
Closing the gap between desired and current performance
Appreciating the impact of feedback on self-regulated learning

Feedback is powerful, but also problematic. For me, what DeWitt highlights is the power and importance of creating the right conditions.

In a separate celebration, Tom Sherrington reflects upon twenty years since the publication of Working Inside The Black Box.
