Five strategies for supporting feedback
Have a conversation about feedback
Ensure teaching teams understand their feedback ecosystem (e.g. different types of feedback, how to provide it and when).
Have a conversation early in your working relationship and forward them articles and examples of best practice.
Recommend rubrics
Rubrics are a simple mechanism for clear feedback and are easy to use. Consider co-creating these with students and at the very least, ensure students understand them. Avoid jargon and make sure the teaching staff understand and know how to employ them.
You can read more about rubrics here.
Make it useful
Feedback is only feedback if it can be used to inform the next piece of work/practice. Schedule adequate time between assignments for teachers to provide adequate, personalised feedback and for students to apply it to their upcoming work.
Embrace the tech
Utilise the tools available in Canvas (and beyond) to streamline collective and general feedback.
Use the audio/visual tools to provide feedback for a more personal touch and automated feedback for formative tasks like discussions and quizzes.
Encourage feedback on feedback
Encourage an environment open to change through feedback between teachers and students from the first day. Set some ground rules and show students how they can tell you about how they understood your feedback (e.g. comments in Speedgrader). Keep an eye out for evidence of the impact of your feedback in future activities and assignments and always check SFS and EFS comments in order to calibrate your practice.
