Monday March 4th, 2024 – 1:00-2:00pm
T&L Conversations are small, informal, and guided conversations akin to a book or journal club. Participants come together virtually to discuss key impressions of the selected resource and reflect on how the themes explored in the resource relate to our lived experiences as educators.
Join colleagues from Niagara, Mohawk, Fanshawe, Lambton, and St. Clair Colleges in a guided conversation to discuss your insights and reflections on the following resource:

“As teachers, we pretty much give feedback all day long. We tell students how they can improve on assignments, we praise them for things they’re doing well, we correct their incorrect responses, and we redirect them when they behave in ways that aren’t helpful to learning.” Unfortunately, when we give feedback to our students, the focus is most often on the past. In this podcast, Joe Hirsch, author of The Feedback Fix: Dump the Past, Embrace the Future, and Lead the Way to Change, discusses the concept called “feedforward,” (originally developed by a management expert named Marshall Goldsmith), digging into the practice of feedforward, including how and why it works in education.
You may prepare for the conversation by either:
- listening to the podcast, which is about 55 min. in length;
- reading the transcript; OR,
- reviewing the blog.
All of these options are available at the same link (noted above).
The session will be offered via MS Teams. The link to join will be provided to all registrants no later than one hour before the start of the session.
