Feedback Preferences

 How do I like to get feedback? What do I need to work on or remember to receive feedback in a healthy, productive manner?

I like to get feedback in a formative form rather than a summative form. I need to remember to evaluate myself before I receive feedback from others. That way, I can listen dispassionately and know that what someone is saying makes sense to me.


 How do I give feedback? How is it received by others? What do I need to work on to be good at giving feedback?
 
When I give feedback to students I usually do it on their rough draft. For instance, when my students write a story, research paper or poem book, I edit EVERYTHING and give all types of suggestions. Then, on the final draft I only write positive comments.
 
Also, when students do math journal pages, I write notes and make check marks. However, after they redo pages, they simply write "REDONE" on the top, and I record the FINAL SCORE.
 
This year I have had the students do some self-assessment before they turn in work, but not as much as I will have them do during the second half of the year. It is sort of my way of them taking responsibility for their work. I also am good at providing examples so they can tell what the standard is for their work.
