Run Your Life Show With Andy Vasily # 163 - The Feedback Loop With Jorge Rodriguez and Andy Vasily
In today’s episode, my good friend and colleague, Jorge Rodriguez, and I sit down to have a conversation about the role of feedback in regards to professional growth and how feedback can be used in a positive way to consistently reflect on our teacher practice in order to continually grow and learn.
Not only do we share our own curiosities and wonderings around feedback, but also what we have come to learn about our own teacher and leadership practice through critical feedback from others. As both Jorge and I use Twitter as a platform to engage in dialogue about professional growth, we also dive deeply into a discussion about some concerns we have about the way Twitter is sometimes used by teachers in our field of physical education.
We hope that any educator listening to this episode can critically reflect on how they use Twitter to not only share their own work and resources, but also the main purpose of why they are posting what they are posting. Jorge and I talk about big difference between seeking praise and seeking critical feedback. There is indeed a place for both, but what is most important to Jorge and I is that dialogue around professional growth, learning, and reflection can be done using Twitter, but it takes a clear and intentional focus and a willingness to be open to the views and perspectives of others.
We hope that any educator listening to this can share their own thoughts on the themes and topics we discuss in order to keep the dialogue going. We are not claiming to be experts or that are views are right, instead we aim to keep dialogue open in regards to the role of feedback as it relates to professional growth and learning.
