#divergED A4 I have been pulling back on use of T directed feedback instead focusing on S lead conversations asking how they felt they did

A4: Feedback encourages reflective thinking...nudges us to dig a little deeper about our own practice.Validation/affirmation. #diverged

sandeeteach Jan 12 @ 8:26 PM EST

@DianaMaskell Yes! We all need to get away from one word responses like "Great" and give real feedback too and often #diverged

SeanAThom Jan 12 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4: Be clear, concise, & representative of situation. Feedback can reinforce negative behaviors as well as positive. Be careful! #diverged

thierck Jan 12 @ 8:27 PM EST

@nalang1 A4 When it's "just in time and just for me", manageable, and attainable. That bit just beyond where I am now #divergED

nalang1 - Moderator Jan 12 @ 8:27 PM EST

@sandeeteach @DianaMaskell Haha, yes, and recognize affirmation and feedback are different. Both are crucial, but used uniquely. #divergED

nortnik Jan 12 @ 8:27 PM EST

Yes! Surface level feedback is not helpful and can be hurtful when not specific. #diverged @sandeeteach https://t.co/U4hqV2ucBQ
