A note for your Behavior Facilitators:

Co-constructing Feedback

Personalized Learning Academy 2.75 is all about feedback. The Academy covered feedback-related definitions, a continuum of feedback types, a model of the feedback process, but you may wonder...what's the most important thing to know? 

Overall, the key message about feedback is that it is not something that is passively "given" or "received".  Instead, the feedback cycle is something that learners and learning partners engage in together. Learners must be trusted to exercize their own autonomy and agency, and welcomed into the feedback process. 

Jennifer Serviss from KHS shared a great visual summary of her take-aways from Academy 2.75, and how she incorporated the feedback process into her high school math classes. Take a look below.
