What is your least favorite task as a teacher?

Time is the most important resource →

Energy is the most important resource

How does it work?

• Schedule 20 minute feedback meetings with students (either alone or in pairs/triads) ~ every 2 weeks.
• Discuss work the student has turned in during the past 2 weeks, giving detailed feedback orally. Either you or student takes notes.
• Later sessions focus less on individual assignments and more on overall progress in the class and how they’ve done with incorporating previous feedback.

Benefits

• Improved understanding of my expectations, better quality assignments
• Improved relationships with my students
• Students know what they’re supposed to be working on
• I know how students are doing, fewer slipping through the cracks
• Grading is not the worst thing everrrrrrrrr
• I can give richer assignments
• Feedback meetings tied for the *most* useful aspect of the class for students’ learning this year.
