Workshop goal:
Through knowledge and skill acquisition, empower faculty and staff to deliver efficient and effective feedback.

Workshop objectives: Participants will…..
1. Describe the elements and skills of feedback, both effective and ineffective, through the analysis of observed and recalled feedback episodes
2.  Create a simulated feedback session that incorporates elements of (1)
3.  Evaluate delivered feedback of a direct observation scenario

Session description:
Using a variety of instructional strategies, faculty and staff will participate to identify and analyze the elements/skills of effective feedback.  Participants will work in small groups using both personal recall and simulated observations to facilitate discussion on effective feedback practices.  Participants will be given the opportunity to incorporate the background knowledge and basic skill elements into both the delivery and evaluation of feedback.  Participants will work as a group to identify common barriers to effective feedback and brainstorm practical solutions for addressing them.  Finally, participants will create a personal action plan for implementing newly acquired feedback understanding.
