When I give feedback to students I try to make it specific. Since I am currently teaching Kindergarten, the skills they are working on are foundational. For example, many of my students are working on verbal communication skills, like talking about how they feel, what they notice and asking questions. Although the feedback I am giving may seem simple to me, I need to think about what the student(s) is experiencing. Does the student seem to understand the ultimate goal of what they are learning/doing? How can I know if they understood my feedback? I will often check back with the student to see if they are able to utilize what I told them. For example, I may say, "Can you try to say that again but use a complete sentence?" Or, "can you say that again but start your sentence with I wonder if...". When I give feedback I privilege the fact that each student is situated within their own context and their own abilities and background. I appreciate how students can bring to the table a variety of ideas, but this also means that I need to pay attention to what students need, and how to help them help themselves to reach their ultimate goal(s).
