Feedback

 I highly recommend "Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well." This book as been essential in my further understanding of providing feedback but more so receiving feedback to better support my overall growth. 

I throughly enjoyed the peer feedback process. I greatly appreciate my peer's expertise and am grateful for this opportunity to receive her feedback. 

My partner and I choose to use the dissertation rubric to guide our feedback. Using this took was effective in guiding and framing our feedback to each other. It was clear what elements of each chapter we would focus our feedback around and supported in my overall understanding of the feedback that I received. 

I'm learning to embrace my own personal challenges to better support in my overall growth as a learner, a professional and as a transformational leader. By acknowledging my blind spots I have a sense of accepting feedback that I may disagree with but am able to take a step back and see the value in that feedback. That was necessary in this particular feedback however I am now being more aware of those overall feelings. 

This process has also helped me reflect on how I incorporate peer to peer feedback in my courses and find value in a pre-created rubric that my students could use to guide and provide feedback to each other. 

Overall I found significant value in this process and appreciated the opportunity to give and receive feedback from my peer.
