Goal:
  • Students who are receptive to receiving feedback.
Reason:
  • Explicitly acknowledging the good reception of feedback helps reinforce important behaviors for learning.
Action:
  • Acknowledge what a student did well and point out why you appreciate what their actions when a student does a particularly good job accepting praise or criticism.
    • This helps reinforce the growth mindset.
    • Be careful not to praise students for being good at something (innate ability), rather praise them for working hard to succeed.
