Providing Feedback > iTry
Before submitting work for your certification badge under the iDo assessment where you demonstrate how well you provide opportunities for student feedback, you may want to get some "feedback" from your mentor on how you plan to incorporate feedback strategies into an upcoming lesson.
Below are some guiding steps to help you think about how to revise a lesson to support better feedback opportunities. This activity will also enable you to collect artifacts that you can use to submit as part of your iDo assessment for your certification badge in Providing Feedback.
- Select a unit that you would like to use as the basis for your work in this module.
- Review the objectives in the unit and select a lesson to go deeper around looking at student work and providing feedback
- Highlight activities on your lesson where you might provide feedback “in the moment”
- Revise your lesson with notes on questions that you might use during the lesson to spark student thinking around their work without advising
- Highlight activities where students can engage in discussions to provide feedback with each other and indicate how you plan to structure those discussions
- Describe extensions in the lesson to provide opportunities for student reflection and self-assessment
Upload the revised lesson with your notes on how you plan to incorporate more feedback opportunities based on the above guiding steps. In the discussion panel, you may also ask your mentor to focus on specific areas where you would like more feedback. Your mentor will also respond with feedback to you in the discussion panel.

Sandra, I think you have made tremendous progress in revising this lesson to incorporate more feedback. What I'm wondering about is if creating an Observation group as part of your Socratic Seminar could provide an opportunity for students to reflect on the process of discussion and interrogating the text instead of just talking about the experience in a more random manner. Just something to think about.

Sandra, before you start the iDo assessment, can you share the lesson you are planning to use, so we can strategize on how to move forward? I want you to be successful on this.
