Seek feedback from students to improve instruction from "summary" of Teach Like a Champion by Doug Lemov
One of the most powerful tools available to teachers is feedback from their students. Asking students for feedback on the instruction they receive can provide valuable insights into what is working well and what could be improved. This feedback can help teachers make adjustments to their teaching methods, ensuring that they are meeting the needs of their students effectively.
By seeking feedback from students, teachers demonstrate that they value their input and are committed to continuous improvement. This creates a culture of collaboration and mutual respect in the classroom, where students feel empowered to share their thoughts and ideas about their learning experience.
When asking for feedback from students, it is important to be specific in your questions. Instead of asking general questions like "How did you like the lesson?" or "Was the instruction clear?", ask more targeted questions that elicit detailed responses. For example, you could ask students to identify one thing that they found challenging during the lesson and suggest ways that it could be improved.
It is also important to create a safe and supportive environment for students to provide feedback. Encourage honest and constructive criticism, and assure students that their input will be taken seriously and used to make positive changes. This helps build trust between teachers and students, fostering a more open and communicative classroom atmosphere.
Incorporating student feedback into your teaching practice can lead to significant improvements in instruction. By listening to your students and making changes based on their input, you can tailor your teaching methods to better meet the needs of your students. This not only enhances the learning experience for students but also helps teachers grow and develop professionally.
