  • It can be very, very, painfully slow to build trust in a group of adults -- but it can be done, and you as the facilitator have to believe it can be done.
  • As a facilitator, it's our job to clarify purpose and raise it, integrate it, and reference it all the time.
  • When we do things together that are new and challenging (but within our zone of proximal development), our brains actually produce hormones that make us feel good and feel closer to each other.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • even if we trust and like each other, we need to know why we're there.
  • Purpose needs to be connected to a school's mission, vision, and goals. When there isn't alignment and correlation, again, we can get lost.
  • Trust grows in tiny little ways when people are open and authentic, when they ask real questions and listen to each other, when they share their stories and others hold space for those stories, and when they do things together and those things go well. So create space for speaking and listening, ensure that everyone is participating, and then give them something to do.
  • while you can have a lot of power in a team, you may not have had the skill development to do so.
  • And then it happened! They opened up and started sharing their fears and concerns, they asked meaningful questions, and they started learning together

Seven ways to give better feedback to your students | Teacher Network | The Guardian - 0 views

feedback assessment

shared by Jill Bergeron on 21 Nov 16 - No Cached
  • too much praise can convey a sense of low expectation and, as a result, can be demotivating.
  • Teenagers care a lot about what their peers think of them. Constructive feedback given in front of others, even if it is well-intended, can be read as a public attack on them and their ability. This can lead to students developing a fear of failure and putting up a front.
  • This is similar to the technique he calls the whisper correction – the feedback technically takes place in public, but the pitch and tone of voice is designed to be heard only by the individual receiving it.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • A recent study found that being positively compared to others can lead to narcissistic behaviour. This sort of comparison can also reduce motivation and result in lower confidence, emotional control, academic performance and increased anxiety.
  • The more detailed and specific your feedback is, the better, to remove any ambiguity. Rather than “good work”, say “The way you did X was really good.”
  • Praising effort instead of intelligence increases intrinsic motivation and provides a template for students to follow next time.
  • In this study, 86% of children who had been praised for their natural ability asked for information about how their peers did on the same task. Only 23% of children who had been praised for effort asked for this type of feedback, with the vast majority of them asking for feedback about how they could do better.
  • But you should aim for a combination of open and closed questions in your feedback, along with statements. Closed statements are useful for conveying key information and keeping the conversation focused.
  • Any feedback that doesn’t lead to a change in behaviour change is redundant – there must be a point to it. What do you want them to do differently? What are they going to do after the conversation to improve? The more detailed and specific the action points, the better.

shared by Jill Bergeron on 08 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • Rubrics aren't just about summative feedback, "Here's how you did," they are also a sort of preemptive feedback, "Here's what you need to do."
  • Teach the students to give the first wave of feedback to each other.
  • Rotate groups of students that get more percentage of your attention.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Develop a key of symbols that you can use in the margins instead of writing in sentences or bullets.
  • Carol Jago reminds us that it's the students job to correct their errors. In fact, it would be even more powerful for them to identify the errors in the first place using hints provided by you
  • allow a student to choose the section or numbers they feel best represent their comprehension
  • This will require students to translate as well, which embeds the lesson even further.
  • Sometimes, assignments will take a huge leap in quality when students think someone other than their own teacher is seeing them.
  • Keep the final grade of an assignment as a carrot dangling until the feedback is read, attempted, and proven. Make them solve some of the problems in the assignment based on your feedback, and trade their solutions for access to their score.
  • You conference; they write.
  • Stagger due dates for your classes.
  • Ask them what worked and what didn't. Model your own comfort at criticism and they will work harder at their own.

Managing Email Effectively - Time Management Training From Mind Tools - 0 views

email time management

shared by Jill Bergeron on 08 Feb 17 - No Cached
  • check email only at set points during the day.
  • reserve time to read and respond to email after a long period of focused work, or at the time of day when your energy and creativity are at their lowest (this means that you can do higher value work at other times).
  • if the email will take less than two minutes to read and reply to, then take care of it right now, even if it's not a high priority.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • For emails that will take longer than two minutes to read or respond to, schedule time on your calendar, or add this as an action on your To-Do List , to do later. Most email programs allow you to highlight, flag, or star messages that need a response, so utilize this handy feature whenever you can.
  • Gmail, allow you to establish "Rules" that sort email into a particular folder as soon as it comes in.
  • If you regularly receive email such as newsletters, blogs and article feeds, you could re-route these to another email address, or use rules, so that they're instantly delivered to a particular folder.
  • For instance, if certain team members regularly send you long, drawn-out emails, let them know. Tell them gently but firmly that because of the demand on your time, you'd appreciate emails no longer than a paragraph or two. Anything longer than that should warrant a phone call. Alternatively, they could drop by your office for a discussion.
