A short video clip explaining how targeted, timely feedback using GoReact fosters student growth, confidence, and data-driven decision making
Hear how the State College of Florida created a sustainable, growth-focused feedback culture with GoReact. Watch the full presentation here.
Kerri Templeton:
So as far as fostering a feedback rich environment, we’ve talked a lot about this already, but we know that research shows feedback is targeted, it has to communicate progress. It’s timely gives students that opportunity to practice and implement what they’ve learned. So we’ve been really intentional about how and when we have provided feedback to our final interns, we avoid what I call the spray and pray approach where you just offer all the feedback at once and then hope something sticks instead. We have really tried to give that purposeful feedback that’s tailored and differentiated to the needs of our individual students. So the AI markers and Fess tagging ability and then I guess the reading competency tagging ability and GoReact, that’s been super helpful in supporting this. It has helped us reinforce points with the AI feedback or even IT highlights areas for growth that maybe we can build upon in that next observation cycle. It has really just helped us create that feedback process that’s not only effective, but it’s been sustainable I feel like, and also growth focused.
Nicholas Catania:
And I think it makes our students more receptive to feedback now too because they’re having so much experience with it that it’s not such a scary thing that we’re able to say, here’s a goal as teachers, we’re working to make ourselves better for the next time. So we’ve provided you some actionable feedback here and now we want to see you try and use it and implement it in the next cycle, which I think has been a big help for our students as well. So next
Kristina DeWitt:
Step, it’s really shown confidence when you go and visit them for an observation like how it increases our confidence because they are able to make decisions, their own data decisions based on their tags that they’ve done and GoReact and how they can see initially just like on a call like this, on a webinar like this, seeing ourselves is always awkward at first, but getting past that and what you can take away from that, what can I take away from that?
