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.

Classroom Environment

Classroom Environment Classroom environment plays a critical role in literacy learning. During a read aloud experience the students need adequate space relatively close to the teacher in order to see and hear the story. They need to be seated in a way that is mostly free from distractions. The decorations in the classroom should facilitate the learning not distract or take away from the learning. In my classroom set up I have a large carpet area where all the students have enough space to sit. I assign carpet spaces first spaced on alphabetical order and then after I get to know I the students I seat them in spaces that best meets their needs.  The classroom environment for a shared reading experience is similar to that of a read aloud. The main difference is that I choose to use a big book so the students can interact and engage in the reading experience. A big book allows the students to see the text in large print and come up and interact with the book using a pointer or ...
