EXPLORE

Whew! You’ve passed the midpoint of the semester. While it can be tempting for students to pull back and start to become unresponsive and harder to reach, that’s when it is time to lean in and make good use of feedback loops to keep everyone engaged.

 

ADAPT

If you’re anything like us — and we know you are 😊 — you may find your mind wandering ahead to the next semester or anticipating the end of the current one. However, let’s not lose sight of the importance of resilience, a characteristic that is especially important for part-time and early-career instructors in the back half of the semester!

 

INSPIRE

Aaaaand speaking of the back half of the semester, an article on the Christmas Tree Effect has motivated us to approach course design differently. We hope this inspires you as well!

Effective feedback serves two purposes. It shapes how we, as educators will teach (or reteach) concepts as students progress through the material and provides a vehicle by which students can assess their learning and, in most cases, make changes and grow.

Constructive feedback can go a long way in helping students stay motivated and on task - but we have to be intentional about providing it. 

Head over to the blog and download a FREE copy of our Actionable Feedback Phrases that include ten action-oriented phrases you can adapt over and over when grading.
