Re: Corrective feedback -
ReplyDelete1) take a relaxing breath to center yourself
2) take another relaxing breath and focus on what the student did RIGHT
3) praise the student once on what they did right that is relevant to your upcoming prompt
4) prompt the student using words like "the next thing to do is..." instead of "BUT" "INSTEAD" "HOWEVER"
5) leave after your clearly stated prompt to show that you believe in your student and know that they can correct themselves after your prompt
Praise, prompt, and leave beginning with the relaxing breath is a crucial concept for every teacher to master for providing corrective feedback inside of the classroom. First you need to take a relaxing breath which gives you time to think with a clear head. Then you have to take another break so you can look at the whole picture and know what is going on in the situation. Third you want to ask yourself what do i want the student to do next. after that is done then you tell the student what you want them to do then you leave after you have clearly stated your instructions.
ReplyDeletePraise, Prompt and Leave: When a student needs help you go over to attend to them, the first thing you do is praise what they have done. First, take a deep breath and relax yourself a little bit. While looking at their work thus far you can say, “Good, good, good.” After that do not say anything other than the prompt of what they should do next. After you have prompted them do not stay around to see if they did it correctly, merely move on to the next student or what you need to do next. During a lesson on equivalent fraction it may sound like this, “Good, you have found your common denominator, now you need to see if this will change the numerator.” The teacher would then turn and leave before allowing the student to show that they are following the prompt.
