(SAMPLE) EDI Course Component
One EDI strategy we find useful is called: From Feedback to Feedforward. Feedforward is characterized by offering constructive suggestions focused on future actions. It equips students with actionable insights to improve their forthcoming performances, encouraging them to shape their future outcomes positively.

Apply & Reflect
Teachers are encouraged to apply the strategies in their classrooms and document their experiences. Join the weekly Edvative EDtalks to help others learn about planning ideas, implementation, reflections, and student feedback.
Teachers are encouraged to maintain a reflective journal throughout the course. Journaling is a good way to reflect on how each person might apply these strategies in their own teaching contexts.
Teachers are encouraged to post insights, questions, or experiences related to each strategy on social media using the hashtag #EDI. Even though this interaction isn't real-time, it can still foster a sense of community and shared learning.
