Feedback is central to student learning, yet it can be challenging to implement in ways that are timely, constructive, and sustainable. This session explores how to build a culture of feedback in your teaching—one that supports student growth and provides meaningful insight into your own practice. We’ll explore strategies for gathering mid-course feedback, responding reflectively, and integrating student feedback as a form of teaching evidence in your dossier.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- Describe characteristics of a constructive and sustainable feedback culture
- Select and adapt mid-course feedback strategies appropriate to their course context
- Reflect on and respond to student feedback with a developmental lens
- Identify ways to incorporate feedback data into teaching reflection and dossiers
Upcoming Sessions
This session is part of Reflection in Practice, a four-part series inviting faculty to explore how reflection can serve as a foundation for effective, evidence-informed, and values-driven teaching. Participants will engage with structured reflection strategies to deepen their understanding of their own teaching, prepare strong teaching statements and dossiers, and cultivate meaningful feedback cultures in their coursework. Sessions are interactive and cumulative, but faculty are welcome to attend individual workshops that align with their interests or needs.
