Feedback is timely

I submitted feedback for each person right after the lesson if I could, or within a week at the latest.

Feedback relates to learning goals of the lesson

Everyone was great about making their lesson goals apparent as they began.  I strove to leave feedback related to the goals they were trying to achieve.

Comments based on observable behavior; give examples

If someone did something I really enjoyed, I always made sure to mention it as a great addition to the lesson.

Positive comments made first

I think nearly everything I said in my feedback was positive–everyone really did a great job on everything this summer so there wasn’t a lot to be critical of.

Begins with “I” statements

I either started by saying “I thought…” or “I liked…” or I straight out said “You did a great job on this…”.

Relates to each aspect of the microteaching rubric

I did my best to leave feedback according to the criteria in each section of the rubric:

• Lesson is well planned and organized with clear learning goals
• Appropriate and meaningful use of technology
• Attention to Formative and Summative Assessment
• Effective management of technology
• Lesson involves classmates in appropriate individual and group activities and discussion.
• Lesson integrates one or  more elements within Blooms Digital Taxonomy
• Appropriate differentiation of Instruction
• Lesson encourages broader exploration of issue
