Talking About Feedback

This episode of the "Building Classroom Community Podcast" features Andrea Earl chatting with guest Chad Lanes discussing the critical role of feedback in the classroom. Chad, a former middle school history teacher and current district tech integration specialist for ABC Unified School District, emphasizes that feedback is essential for building relationships and fostering communication with students. The conversation explores the challenges teachers face in providing timely, meaningful, and actionable feedback. Chad shares traditional strategies he used, such as peer feedback, highlighting its benefits in developing soft skills like collaboration and communication. The episode also explores how AI tools, specifically Brisk Teaching, a Chrome extension, can provide timely, first-pass feedback. Note: This episode was recorded on Feb. 19, 2025. Since then, Brisk has added many new features. Additionally, Andrea will be representing BRISK at this year's InstructureCon 2025 in Tacoma, Washington.
