Assignment:
Answer the following questions:
1. Describe the types of questions Gage asks.
2. Do the comments reflect coaching or an evaluation approach to feedback?
3. List three other questions you would have asked Daniella.
4. What important lessons have you learned about providing feedback to others on their plans for inquiry by reviewing this interaction between Daniella and her inquiry coach, Gage?
Providing feedback to another teacher researcher is an essential part of the inquiry process. The probing that can occur by having a critical friend who is capable of pushing your thinking is a luxury that is typically celebrated by accomplished teacher researchers. For teacher candidates, this critical friend might be their instructor or mentor teacher, or even a peer who is also learning to teach through inquiry. For practicing teachers, this might be another teacher, an administrator, a university partner, a parent, or perhaps even a student. For this activity, review an inquiry brief created for an introductory course on teacher research by mathematics teacher Daniella Suárez and the bubble comments provided by Daniella's faculty instructor, Gage Jeter. Answer the following questions:
1. What is the nature of the comments that Gage is making?
2. What types of questions is Gage asking?
3. Do the comments reflect a coaching or an evaluation approach to feedback? Explain your answer.
4. What other questions might you have asked Daniella?
5. What important lessons have you learned about providing feedback to others on their plans for inquiry by reviewing this interaction between Daniella and her inquiry coach, Gage?
