Here's how you can foster a secure atmosphere for students to provide feedback.

Pour ma part , pour créer la confiance avec mes étudiants , j’essaie de montrer l’exemple, de les écouter sans jugement . De simplement répondre « je ne sais pas , mais je vais chercher ». Et de systématiquement apporter une réponse à toutes leurs questions . J’évite d’avoir une posture supérieure . J’encourage le dialogue en posant des questions ouvertes . Et peu importe la réponse , exacte ou erronée, j’essaie d’envisager en groupe les réponses alternatives. Je félicite systématiquement leur contribution . Ça apporte une dynamique de groupe où chacun peu s’exprimer sans jugement . J’utilise des solutions anonymes de feed-back où chacun peut s’exprimer librement . Et je fais des restitutions régulières et transparentes des résultats .

Consistency and predictability are important components in building trust. You must be persistent in demonstrating to students that you are open to all perspectives and responsive to the feedback you receive. This pattern of predictable behavior is critical to developing a safe learning environment that is built on trust and open dialogue.

I have made many mistakes throughout my 11 years in education. One way that I am vulnerable with my students is that I apologize if I made an error in judgment or might have had a bad day and responded to them in a way I would not normally respond. Going back and making that personal apology to the student, goes a long way in establishing that good relationship. Another way I build trust is that we set our classroom norms together, this is our house away from home and we all have to have norms that we can talk, work, and co-exist with. This helps set our classroom space as a safe space for everyone.

Nobody taught us to give and take feedback with openness. Everyone is fearful about giving and taking feedback because of Fear of Judgement. So this fear of judgment can be removed with the help of Open communication, Genuine affection, good intentions, and Empathy. Additionally taking ownership and giving respect to the students creates trust in them. Once trust is built, the students will take the feedback positively and work on it wholeheartedly. They will inspire and ask for more personalized feedback.

I absolutely agree with this point. In my perspective, before stepping further to build trust between students and teachers, it'd be better for the teachers to encourage their students to believe themselves first. Based on my experience, some of my students in the past time doubted their english skills, especially speaking. As Indonesia applies English as a foreign language, it is uncommon for our people to conversate publicly using English. Therefore, motivating the students to be confident and to have faith in themselves is fundamental. When they've got their confidence already, let's carry on the learning process, step by step, brick by brick. Provide open conversation without interruption, listen them with no structure correction.

I agree with this, nothing beats being expressive and knowing the ways of communication. Encouraging a child to share thoughts and ideas, and learning to listen when others speak helps a child grow and learn.

Na minha experiência como docente, percebo como é importante criar um ambiente comunicativo empático e positivo, para que os estudantes se sintam seguros para dizer e ouvir todos do grupo. É importante encorajar os estudantes e dizer o que pensam, suas opiniões, suas percepções, assim como mostrar que nem sempre os colegas e demais pessoas pensam de forma igual, mas devemos respeitá-los na sua divergência, sempre com argumentos que possam expor a nossa vontade de respeitar opiniões e críticas, no sentido construtivo. Promover o diálogo é a melhor forma de realizar um ambiente seguro e de credibilidade entre os envolvidos no processo ensino-aprendizagem.

Absolutely. Students spend more time in the classroom than they do at home. School must be a space where they can feel comfortable expressing themselves and where they feel heard and understood

By doing this,you'll realize alot about your students. They'll tell you things you never thought they knew. This gives you the chance to offer guidance.

1. Create a Safe Environment: Foster a non-judgmental atmosphere where all contributions are valued. This can be achieved by setting clear guidelines for respectful communication and actively moderating discussions to ensure all voices are heard.  2. Connect Lessons to Students' Interests: Make learning relevant by linking it to students' lives and interests. This could involve integrating current events, student hobbies, or cultural references into lesson plans to make the content more relatable and engaging.  3. Small Group Work: Encourage participation in smaller, less intimidating groups before sharing with the whole class. This approach can help students build confidence in a more controlled setting

Certainly! It is essential to provide anonymity as students may just repeat what is uttered by the neighbour while the feedback is asked in the open class. It may just be a word or one liner! It is better to ask them write their feedback which gives them enough time to think and write. They need not mention their name too. When you are more acquainted with the students, encourage them to give their feedback at the cabin or faculty room where they feel more comfortable and confident to express their opinion. Of course, online feedback templates, google forms and website provisions are there. It would be better if they are given space to write rather than merely grading the performance in terms of points.

Uma vez vivenciei no meu trabalho algo importante a relatar aos colegas. Em uma roda de conversa sobre um tema complexo, a diversidade nas organizações, havia alunos que se colocavam em dúvida sobre se considerar a diversidade um bom passo a ser dado nas empresas, percebido por meio dos trabalhos escritos. Dado às divergências, abri um debate em que cada aluno poderia optar por dar seu depoimento, verbalmente ou por escrito, e seria preservada a sua identidade. A questão não era só o tema, mas sim falar em público e, neste momento, não pode o professor exigir que o estudante contrarie a sua vontade e dificuldades, isso deve ser realizado sem pressa, de forma que o aluno perceba a importância do exercício das ideias e forma de ver o mundo.

Anonymous feedback worked very well for me at the beginning of the year when I was establishing trust and with classes that had a challenging dynamic. Students like to share their opinions and give feedback but not if they don't feel safe. In those situations, I would either use online surveys or have students jot down their thoughts on a Post-it without their names I would personally collect. After reading the comments, I would discuss the trends with the class. Students felt better knowing I was addressing their concerns without calling anyone out. It also increased their trust in me and usually led to more open discussions.

One thing I found helpful was doing my best to really focus on the students who seemed to be having a hard time grasping the material being taught. I would approach them privately after class and offer assistance or even just a format for them to express their potential frustrations.

Algo importante a destacar é que o professor precisa deixar claro aos estudantes, o que se espera dos feedbacks que devem ocorrer, seja no cumprimento de qualquer objetivo pedagógico. O aluno que sabe e reconhece o que se deseja alcançar, e já se sentindo à vontade no grupo, terá boa chance de ouvir ativamente os feedbacks de colegas e do professor, além de expor feedbacks que possam contribuir com o grupo. Deve-se destacar sempre que a comunicação entre professores e alunos é um processo coletivo, onde todos crescem e aprendem.

Setting expectations means establishing clear and concise boundaries, goals, and guidelines for a particular situation or relationship. It involves communicating what you expect from others and what they can expect from you. Setting expectations helps to: 1. Avoid misunderstandings 2. Build trust and respect 3. Increase productivity and efficiency 4. Manage conflicts and disappointments 5. Establish clear roles and responsibilities 6. Provide a sense of direction and purpose 7. Encourage open and honest communication 8. Reduce anxiety and stress 9. Improve overall performance and outcomes 10. Enhance relationships and collaborations. To set expectations effectively, be specific, realistic, and transparent in your communication.

As we set expectations, we can help to strengthen the student's self-esteem and feelings of self-worth by providing affirmation. Many times students display a host of inappropriate behaviours that we find we 'have' to scold them about but when they display a major or a minor positive behaviour we are completely silent about it. By giving attention only to the negative behaviours we are reinforcing the negative without even realizing it. If we begin to look out for and celebrate all forms of positive behaviours and to correct by giving a description of the expected positive behaviour we can redesign their ways of thinking about who they are and who they should desire to be. Let us make positive behaviour be the celebrated type of behaviour.

Siempre debemos tener un norte bien marcado, motivador y desafiante. Para que ellos sepan que queremos alcanzar con el aprendizaje y que al finalizar no solo se quede en el papel sino que lo puedan demostrar con sus habilidades.

Na minha experiência do dia a dia, o professor deve ir além de responder adequadamente aos estudantes, no momento de tecer feedbacks; é fundamental que o professor reconheça e valorize a participação de todos. Outro aspecto importante a destacar é percepção do docente sobre as diferenças entre estudantes em todos os sentidos. Não se pode esperar que todos tenham a mesma forma de abordagem, assim como a mesma desenvoltura linguística. É preciso respeitar os estudantes na sua forma de ser e agir, mas sempre os levando a evoluir. Essa é a missão do professor, desenvolver os estudante para a vida, mas respeitando o valor individual que cada aluno guarda.

Don’t take student criticism hard. Listen to them and verify if others feel the same way. This will humanize the students and you creating and fostering respect and trust.

Feedback serves as a powerful tool in the realm of education, playing a vital role in shaping students' learning experiences and fostering their academic growth. Recognizing the importance of feedback and implementing effective feedback mechanisms can lead to enhanced learning outcomes, improved performance, and increased motivation among students.

Types of Appropriate Responses: 1. Acknowledging: Confirm receipt and understanding of a message or request. 2. Answering: Provide direct and concise answers to questions or concerns. 3. Clarifying: Seek additional information to ensure understanding. 4. Comforting: Offer support and empathy in difficult situations. 5. Correcting: Politely address inaccuracies or misconceptions. 6. Directing: Provide guidance and direction when needed. 7. Encouraging: Offer positive feedback and motivation. 8. Explaining: Provide clear and concise explanations for decisions or actions. 9. Apologizing: Sincerely acknowledge and take responsibility for mistakes. 10. Thanking: Express gratitude and appreciation.

Professional Development Teacher Training: Engage in professional development to learn best practices for collecting and responding to student feedback. Reflect and Adapt: Regularly reflect on your approach to feedback and make adjustments based on what works best for your students.

Creating a secure atmosphere for students to provide feedback is crucial. 1. Establish Trust 2. Encourage Anonymity 3. Normalize Feedback 4. Active Listening 5. Respond Positively 6. Confidentiality 7. Regular Check-Ins 8. Lead by Example

Time Management - Allocate sufficient time per task and monitor while bringing them to speed. Any group activity or individual writing task once children are used to this fast paced while maintaining accuracy working style , perhaps they are ready for challenges as they graduate higher up
