Feedback...the breakfast of champions!

This weekend I had an opportunity to participate in an event where one station involved me role playing a scenario with one other participant while two other educators observed and took notes.  After the scene, I was asked to step out and then after a 5 minute wait I was provided feedback and asked the try it again.  It was never racking but never did I feel like I was being judged...I only felt supported and only as if they wanted the best performance for me because they believed in my ability.


And then...I saw this on Twitter and realized that it never hurts to remind ourselves how vital feedback is and how we can incorporate this into our daily interactions with students.  This example, TAG, only takes 60 seconds.





As Ken Blanchard stated "Feedback is the breakfast of champions." We are teaching champions each day so let's give them an outstanding meal with feedback.  Hope everyone has had a great weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone Monday!         ~Angela M. Hill
