Feedback Strategies

For this feedback focused blog I read the two articles Be a Mirror: Give Readers Feedback That Fosters a Growth Mindset and Five Reasons to Stop Saying "Good Job!" I enjoyed reading both of these articles and found them to be very interesting. I really enjoy reading about growth mindset and I try to implement that philosophy into my own life. The first article Be a Mirror talked about the five qualities that foster a growth mindset, be specific, focus on the what, focus on the process, make sure it can transfer, and take yourself out of the feedback. These are all created to helping give feedback on others writings which in this class is very helpful with the amount of writing we do. The second article was even better. I find today so many people are ok with being mediocre or being par, as long as they get credit or pass. This article shows readers that people need to be pushed instead of being praised for mediocrity. Within the article there are some steps for people to give actual feedback such as saying nothing, talking less and asking more, and saying what you saw. Each of these steps charters growth instead of just getting by.
