Student to Student Feedback
Fostering a culture where all learning community members feel valued is essential. One of the best ways to achieve this is by providing students with clear directions and opportunities to deliver timely and meaningful feedback to their classmates. When giving feedback, students can often share their thoughts in a more relatable way with their peers than teachers. These interactions also tend to build rapport and trust among students.
-
From Feedback to Feedforward
Feedforward is characterized by offering constructive suggestions focused on future actions.
The practical application of Feedforward in classrooms and beyond can be facilitated through six effective strategies:
Encourage Self-Reflection
Follow Up and Support
Supportive and Encouraging Tone
Focus on Growth Mindset
Proactive Nature
Actionable and Specific Suggestions
