Wise feedback is a strategy that an instructor can use to give feedback that builds students’ academic mindset, trust, and positive identity. Feedback, in the context of grading, often identifies what specific aspects of the student’s performance need to improve but may fall short on building confidence and motivation. Wise feedback has three components: 1) specific and actionable explanation of why you are giving the feedback; 2) expression of high standards or expectations; and 3) expression of confidence in the student’s ability to succeed. Studies have shown that this strategy improves performance, for example, can increase a student’s likelihood of submitting a revision of an essay and improve the quality of their final drafts. In this session, participants will learn about and have the opportunity to practice giving wise feedback.
