Delivering Feedback for Diverse Students: Culturally Relevant Feedback

• In Event: 14.038 - Preparing Leaders to Work for Educational Equality: Effective Feedback to Students on Leadership and Scholarship

Abstract

Faculty teach students with diverse racial, ethnic, linguistic, and heritage identities. How can faculty provide culturally relevant (Ladson-Billings, 2009) feedback along these dimensions of difference? How can faculty moderate tone, format, linguistic norms and structures to be responsive to student differences? How can faculty draw upon students’ funds of knowledge in providing feedback? How can faculty orient their feedback in an asset-model, instead of a deficit model?
