Giving and Receiving Feedback Skillfully

taught by Dan Clurman, M.A.

Too often, the value of feedback is lost when it’s too general, too late or not clearly stated. Yet feedback is crucial for improving teaching and co-leadership skills. When properly given and received, feedback can provide valuable information on what is or isn’t working.

This training will combine presentations with experiential learning. Participants will have opportunities to apply what they’re learning to their work as teachers. Participants will leave this training with a greater ability to give and receive feedback so that it can be constructively used.

NDF teachers will be hosting sessions that Dan is not teaching.
