Getting Better Through Authentic Feedback

Here is a video I found about a teacher taking a unique approach to feedback, through student lead focus groups. Every so often the teacher meets with chosen students to receive feedback on his own teaching. By doing so the teacher creates a unique opportunity to gain a student perspective on the teacher’s performance. I really appreciate this approach to feedback because it really creates an opportunity for discussions that often do not happen between a teacher and student. I see this method as an intriguing way to enter the mind of one’s own students and definitely intend to use such a practice in my classrooms in the future.
