Feedback Strategies

The first article that I read was "Be a mirror: Give Readers Feedback That Fosters a Growth Mindset".

In this article they talk a lot about how giving feedback in a certain way can encourage kids to develop a growth mindset. One of the feedback strategies that they mention that I agree with is to be specific when giving feedback. When I was growing up in school, most of the time when being given feedback I really needed the teachers to spell it out for me so I knew specifically what to work on, I didn't enjoy when they were too broad with their answers because then I would panic and not know where to start with improving my work, which would then lead me to procrastinate because I didn't know where to start, I would have rather them tell me exactly what I needed to work on so I could get on with it faster. I don't mean tell me what to change to make it right, but more specific ways to go around my work so I could learn and improve.

The second article that I read was "Try Feedforward instead of Feedback".

I really enjoyed this article because it talks about how instead of asking for ways to improve the past, they're asking for ways to improve in the future and I think that it's a good way of asking for peoples opinions and not their criticism. I think this was of feedback is really good for jobs because it helps employers get some ideas from employees on how to make things better for the future of their work and gives them a good understanding of outsiders perspectives on how to make a positive change instead of trying to change a negative past.

Both of these articles were really insightful for different ways of feedback strategies.
