As teachers, one of the most important parts of our job is giving feedback to stakeholders. We record all communications on CORE, our web-based data management program. We don't explain these communications, just record that they occurred. But have we ever asked ourselves what are the most effective ways to give feedback to our stakeholders.....Students? Parents? Classroom Teachers? Administrators?
We all know that feedback, especially to our students, can improvement student achievement. The author, Grant Wiggens, lists and explains 7 feedback essentials: goal-referenced, tangible and transparent, actionable, user-friendly, ongoing, and consistent.
We need to look more closely at just what feedback is----and isn't.
This article is a must-read for all LEX employees! All of us, no matter what our specific role is can learn important points.
Any ideas you would like to share with your colleagues in LEX?
