That's how we will improve." - [[Feedback is a gift]] - regardless of where it comes from and its contents. - To get feedback means you've done something to affect the life of another person. - Listen, reflect, apply and improve. - Feedback must extend beyond "satisfactory" - [["Satisfactory" as feedback is far from satisfactory feedback]]. - [[Look at the best and learn from them]]. Start by duplicating what you see up until you've developed enough confidence to define your own path. - "We need a system to help all our teachers be as good as the best". - Good feedback is specific. - Realize where you're weak to begin to understand where you can improve. - Weakness must be fortified, but it can only be done if discovered. - "[[There's a difference for teachers between the abstract of how we see our practice and the concrete reality of it.]]"- Sarah Brown Wessling (teacher). - [[Create meaningful moments of self reflection]]. - A key to excellence is awareness. Awareness of environment, awareness of self and the ability to adapt. - [[To be aware of yourself, you must be honest with yourself]]. - [[See yourself as you are]]. Plainly without the protection of ego and the disdain of judgment. - Diagnosis is only half the battle you also need to act on the diagnosis. - "[[Feedback is not easy to take, but it makes success a piece of cake.]]" ## Original ![[Teachers need real feedback-1.jpg]] ![[Teachers need real feedback-2.jpg]]
