To Respond
Two things to know:
- people do best if feedback is short and to the point; a good rule of thumb is for the feedback you offer to be no longer than the response they provided.
- providing feedback means prioritizing what you say first. If you've asked a question that engages the person, they'll come back and you'll be in a position to give them further feedback.
Here are some feedback examples to individuals who were learning to mentor students on math problem solving:
Example 1
I noticed Spencer had a really interesting hypothesis, that Zach would go farther on his horse than on foot. How could you follow up on that, to appreciate Spencer's reflection and help him push it even farther?
=========
Example 2
I noticed the comment Frederick left, and it made me think we could push his mathematical thinking even more, by asking him a specific question about his reasoning. Is there a way you could push him to try another specific strategy, like maybe using multiplication instead of repeated adding? I think he's ready, because he saw when he could double 25 to get 50.
Task 4
Using the style illustrated above, what questions could you ask the TRAILS students about their tool? Perhaps use these phrases:
- I wonder if ....
- Have you considered ....
- How could you follow up on the idea ....
- Is there a way ....
Once you have written some questions, use the last link to join a discussion about crafting feedback questions.
