OUR RESULTS ¨ 2006 – 1 student failed ¨ 2007 -1 student failed ¨ Could we do it differently? ¨ Could we achieve better results? ¨ Did we enjoy it as much as they did? ¨ Could we /they have FUN?
FURTHER COMMENTS ¨ Should this questionnaire be the same for all disciplines? ¨ Audit of the feedback-when , how often? ¨ When should changes be implemented? ¨ Do we give them feedback about their feedback?
TWO WAY COMMUNICATION ¨ Open communication ¨ Clear communication ¨ Direct communication ¨ Ask your students-early informal feedback, one minute response, class committees, students reflection
TWO WAY FEEDBACK ¨ Teachers share results with students ¨ Ask for suggestions ¨ What would they do? ¨ What can they do to contribute to a better learning environment? ¨ Use feedback to develop dialogue ¨ Feedback creates the chance to express interests
ASK YOUR STUDENTS ¨ Early informal feedback ¨ One-minute response ¨ Class committees ¨ Reflect
TEACH THE TEACHER ¨ Do it yourself ¨ Self-evaluation ¨ DO WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO TEACH?
FINAL SUGGESTION ¨ Getting a student’s point of view can be one of the best guides for how to organize your next lesson
