Brené Brown's Ten Tips for Giving Feedback

Brené Brown's Ten Tips for Giving Feedback

I know I am ready to give feedback when:

1) I'm ready to sit next to you rather than across from you.
2) I'm willing to put the problem in front of us rather than between us (or sliding it toward you).
3) I'm ready to listen ask questions, and accept that I may not fully understand the issue.
4) I want to acknowledge what you do well instead of picking apart your mistakes.
5) I recognize your strengths and how you can use them to address your challenges.
6) I can hold you accountable without shaming or blaming you.
7) I'm willing to own my part.
8) I can genuinely thank you for your efforts rather than criticize you for your failings.
9) I can talk about how resolving these challenges will lead to your growth and opportunity.
10) I can model the vulnerability and openness that I expect to see from you.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
