Feedback Loop

With the end of the year approaching, it may be time to collect some feedback from your students.  Maybe you tried something new this year or maybe you just want to get some feedback on something you have done for a while.  Click here to read a short article about feedback loops.  Really this is just asking students to think about what has worked for them and what maybe didn't work for them.  Knowing not all feedback from students is meaningful or even valid, as professionals we can delineate between what is useful to us and what is not.

Questions to consider:

1.  Did you do something this year that you are wondering about?  How did it work for students?  How can you make it better?
2.  Starting a "feedback loop" (as referred to in this article) doesn't seem too difficult.  How could you do that in your classroom?  Could you incorporate Google somehow?
3.  How have you used feedback to inform decisions or instruction in your classroom in the past?

Teacher Appreciation Week

This is Teacher Appreciation Week.  Thank you.

Click here to see a video that is a reflection and hopefully encouragement for a teacher.  The video is really seasoned teachers reflecting back and guiding younger teachers but it is applicable.  The video is under 3 mins in length.

Thanks for all you do.
