PBL and Feedback
- This episode explains the importance of providing consistent, structured feedback in the PBL classroom. Feedback is compared to a compass that helps students get back on track when their projects get off course. The episode emphasizes the importance of giving feedback on the product and not on the person, providing feedback daily, and modeling the feedback process.
- Key Concepts:
- Providing structure with timed rounds for sharing work, giving likes and wonders, and giving overall feedback.
- Providing sentence starters for giving feedback in a constructive and non-personal way.
- Helping students understand that the focus of the feedback is on improving the product and not criticizing the person.
- Feedback is essential for successful collaboration in PBL.
- Teachers should use protocols to scaffold feedback, such as the tuning protocol.
- Tuning protocols have several benefits, such as:
- Teachers should give feedback every day to help students develop their feedback muscles.
- Teachers should model how to give and receive feedback.
- Teachers can ask their learners for feedback and practice listening to and responding to that feedback.
- Teachers can model feedback by making changes to the classroom based on student feedback.
- Teachers can do a tuning protocol with colleagues to receive feedback on their PBL unit before launching it.
- Students can use protocols, such as the tuning protocol, to give each other feedback.
- Call to Action: Be generous and share the resources from this episode with others.
