Feedback, one of the most powerful tools in our teaching repertoire, can become even more effective when we first look to strengthen the writer's identity. So often feedback in writing focuses solely on the writing itself. Writing, however, is an act of confidence and so we must first offer feedback with the writer in mind-- this feedback, in turn, has a direct impact on the writing. Based on her newly released book, Patty will share many techniques that serve as more impactful alternatives to the red-pen, fix-it feedback most students are accustomed to receiving. Feedback, using these alternative approaches, result in joyful, invested, competent writers whose writing is powerful and inspirational.
Teachers will walk away with:
- Go-to strategies for giving nurturing, writer-focused feedback
- Structures and plans for giving feedback that students crave in time efficient ways
- Techniques for supporting agency and ownership so that the writer and their writing strengthens
