Week C: Teacher As Designer—Team
Feedback Assignment &
Rubric
Weeks 6, 9, 12 and 15
Goals:
To provide feedback to your teammates' sphere lesson design and to use
their feedback to revise your sphere lesson.
Background:
When you design your sphere lessons, you know what you are trying to convey.
The best way to ensure that your sphere lessons are easy to follow and
understand is to have your teammates read them and offer you feedback.
Because your teammates may be less clear about your intentions from what
you wrote in the design, they can offer you feedback that will help you
to get around your blind spots. Therefore, you and your teammates will
serve as "critical friends" to one another. Critical friends
- listen carefully,
- help others reach their
goals,
- offer clear and direct feedback,
no matter how far off the mark a sphere lesson is,
- show complete confidence
in the teammate's ability to improve the lesson,
- act as a coach, mentor,
collaborator, or critic, and
- act as a thoughtful audience.
When acting as a critical friend,
use the rubric below and the criteria for effective concept-building activities
you and your teammates developed in Week A: Teacher As Researcher to give
feedback to your teammates on their sphere lessons.
Use the directions below to
complete this week’s team assignment.
