# Activity 13: Assessing your levels of feedback

# Activity

Draw a chart with the names of the students in one of the classes you teach down one side and lessons you will be teaching them in the next one or two weeks along the top.

Every time you have an individual “feedback” discussion with a student, put a tick against their name in the appropriate box. If the feedback was extended (i.e. you had to spend more time than normal or go back to the same student a number of times), put an asterisk against the tick.

At the end of the period of time you have selected, reflect on the following questions:

- What percentage of the class were you able to speak to?
- Did the percentage you achieved ensure that you would be able to give feedback to every student within a two- or three-week period?
- Did you manage to speak to those who might be finding the topic difficult?
- Did you manage to give feedback to those finding the topic fairly easy? Were you able to give them a supplementary, more demanding, task?
- What types of feedback did you give?
- Was the feedback helpful to the students? How do you know this? For example, did they finish the work without further help? Did they write a clear explanation that showed they understood the ideas?

# Self-Reflection

Self-reflection is important because it's a process that makes you collect, record, and analyze everything that happened in the lesson so you can make improvements in your teaching strategies where necessary. Share your self-reflection upon completion of Activity 13.
