Feedback and Techniques Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by sarahy

“Positive feedback consists of short interj­ections of "­goo­d" "­oka­y" and "all right" and negative feedback consists exclus­ively of the teacher repeating the student's response with a rising intona­tion.”

Corrective feedback: Points areas of perfor­mance or behavior needing improving or modifying and sugges­tions on how to improve (CF is best commun­icated in private initia­lly).

 Bridge Technique: connecting concepts together from past to future, focusing on: 1. Past positive behavi­or/­per­for­mance 2. Present observed behavi­or/­per­for­mance 3. Future behavi­or/­per­for­mance expected.

 Sandwich Technique: 1. Praise students for their strengths and areas of good perfor­mance 2. Tell them the behavi­or/­per­for­mance you observe and how it differs to what you expect 3. Praise their ability to adapt and modify their behavior and use examples where they have done that succes­sfully.

 Ask-Te­ll-Ask Technique: 1. Ask for self-a­sse­ssment 2. Tell them the behavi­or/­per­for­mance you observe and how it differs to what you expect 3. Ask how they think they could improve and what action they can take.

Try to be positive, honest, and unders­tanding while giving feedback

Feedback must be regular and standa­rdized, balanced and struct­ured.
