Upcoming Building a Supportive Learning Environment: Leveraging Student Check-ins for Effective Feedback, Assessment, and Coaching

Student feedback and assessment are vital for promoting student growth and learning. Timely feedback is crucial and associated with positive impact on learnings outcomes (Hattie & Timperley, 2007). Incorporating self-assessment and reflection into the feedback process enhances metacognitive skills and contributes to a deeper understanding. Customizing feedback to individual needs, aligning it with learning goals, and utilizing various feedback methods contribute to more effective learning outcomes (Sadler, 1989; Carless & Boud, 2018). To address these areas related to feedback and assessment, we have begun using check-in meetings to assess and provide feedback to students in our teacher education program.
