We Pay for Feedback

We were given the assignment to teach something in 5 minutes. I learned how to draw a puffer fish, fold paper origami, make peanut butter cookies and many more significant and insignificant things. What I am reflecting on after this is not my new learned skills but rather the feedback period in between each teacher. 

Our natural reaction when receiving feedback is to defend, to rationalize and to justify. 

Receive feedback with humility and an open mind. 

Feedback is a valuable tool. We pay for feedback. 

A good teacher receives and applies feedback.

To give constructive and effective feedback and to receive and apply it after it is given.

This will be invaluable throughout our teaching careers. 

I will apply the feedback that I received today about my teaching and I will ask and seek for feedback from my Heavenly Father. 

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
Hebrews 12:6
