Episode 195: Getting Student Feedback
Laura and Matt GrundlerMeghan Wlodarczyk and Martin Rodriguez
Student feedback provides valuable insight into their learning experience. It allows teachers the chance to identify areas for improved instruction, better understand students’ needs, and ultimately create more open, engaging, and effective learning environments. With this in mind, it’s easy to see why NAEA’s Connected Arts Networks believes that student feedback is crucial to creative and successful arts classrooms. In this episode, Oral Historian Dr. Mi’Jan Celie Tho-Biaz, Matt Grundler, and CAN members Meghan Wlodarczyk and Martin Rodriguez share how they foster student feedback in the classroom. By implementing techniques focused on open communication and trusting that students’ feedback is taken seriously, Meghan and Martin have created environments where everyone’s voice is heard.
