OUR RESULTS

2006 –1 student failed 2007-1 student failed

Could we do it differently? Could we achieve better results? Did we enjoy it as much as they did? Could we /they have FUN?

FURTHER COMMENTS

Should this questionnaire be the same for all disciplines?

Audit of the feedback-when , how often? When should changes be implemented? Do we give them feedback about their

feedback?

TWO WAY COMMUNICATION Open communication Clear communication Direct communication Ask your students-early informal feedback,

one minute response, class committees, students reflection

TWO WAY FEEDBACK

Teachers share results with students Ask for suggestions What would they do? What can they do to contribute to a better

learning environment? Use feedback to develop dialogue Feedback creates the chance to express

interests

ASK YOUR STUDENTS

Early informal feedback One-minute response Class committees Reflect

TEACH THE TEACHER

Do it yourself Self-evaluation DO WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO

TEACH?

FINAL SUGGESTION

Getting a student’s point of view can be one of the best guides for how to organize your next lesson
