Feedforward: Empowering Student Writers through Inclusive Feedback
Friday, March 25, 2022
10:35 am to 11:50 am
What kinds of feedback help our students thrive? We draw from professional experience as well as from research in education and composition studies in sharing best practices in written and oral feedback. Our recommendations take into account student difference such as race, gender, class, and neurodivergence and apply to online, hybrid, and in-person creative writing classrooms for every level from high school to continuing education.
