Building good conversations about feedback with your mentors during your teaching practice can really help you grow. Here’s how to do it:
Take the First Step: Don't wait for your mentors to give you feedback. Set up regular meetings with them to talk about your progress.
Ask Clear Questions: Instead of asking general questions, be specific. Try asking, "What can I do to get my students more involved?" This helps get useful advice.
Welcome Honest Feedback: Tell your mentors you appreciate their honesty. Let them know that their helpful criticism is important for your growth.
Think About the Feedback: After you get feedback, take some time to think it over. Share how you plan to use their suggestions in your teaching.
Check Back In: After you try out their advice, talk to them again. Discuss what worked and what didn't, and keep improving together.
Remember, feedback goes both ways and can really make your teaching experience better!
