At my site, ACMS, we value collaboration. I am fortunate to have specific time set aside to interact with my colleagues in order to improve my pedagogy. One such way is a process we call “Friendly Feedback”.
Friendly Feedback is a process we use to present ideas and provide meaningful feedback. There is a specific protocol we follow to ensure that identify the strengths and potential of an idea. For instance, I might present an upcoming project to a group of teachers, each from different content areas. As I present, they listen, and look through any resources that I provide. Then, my peers have the opportunity to address my proposed idea in three categories.
When I think about what makes a good critical friend, I consider our Friendly Feedback protocol. Helpful and constructive feedback must be rooted in honesty, while also be supportive. I would hope that any peer offering feedback would consider our simple three steps. Find something that you like about the idea, then identify possible issues and ultimately help build on the idea. That is what I hope to encounter when sharing my own capstone work. Tell me what I’ve done well, what I needs fixing and how to ultimately expand the idea.
