Talk Abstract
Instead of dreading giving feedback, what if we loved it? Instead of wondering if our time is wasted, what if we knew students were not only reviewing, but responding to and building on what you’ve shared? Research shows us that quality, timely feedback is one of the most powerful ways to ensure learning and retention, but many of us struggle with how to do this in a way that doesn’t keep us up all night agonizing over the keyboard. This session focuses on finding the fun in giving feedback to burgeoning writers.
