Feedback Strategies

Image
Reading the feedback gallery was extremely helpful and gave me some exact ideas and examples of the kind of feedback I need to be giving to be the most productive. When reading " Five reasons to Stop Saying Good Job " it was very interesting to see the ways that good job can provide manipulation to young children.
