               Structuring	   Constructive	   Feedback	   

               	   
               1.  Feedback	   Sandwich	   
                   The	   feedback	   sandwich	   means	   that	   feedback	   pointing	   out	   opportunities	   for	   
                   improvement	   is	   ‘sandwiched’	   between	   two	   ‘slices’	   of	   praise.	   
                       	   
                    Example	   	     Feedback	   sandwich	   
                    	           (First):	   	   	   How	   do	   you	   feel	   that	   went?	   

                    (bread):	   	   	   	     I	   was	   impressed	   by	   how	   quickly	   and	   easily	   you	   were	   able	   to	   do	   that.	   

                    (meat):	     The	   only	   part	   where	   you	   seemed	   to	   struggle	   was…	   

                    (bread):	   	   	     Overall,	   you	   managed	   very	   well,	   finishing	   the	   task	   well	   within	   required	   
                                timeframes.	   

               	   


               2.  Feedback	   Staircase	   
                   The	   staircase	   approach	   means	   that	   feedback	   begins	   by	   consolidating	   what	   the	   learner	   
                   has	   done	   well.	   Then,	   the	   ‘step-  up’	   is	   offered;	   a	   suggestion	   for	   improved	   performance.	   


                   	   
                      Example	      Feedback	   staircase	   
               3.  	   
                      	   
                   	     Has	   done	     (First):	   	   	   	   	   How	   did	   you	   feel	   that	   went?	   
                   	     well:	     I	   think	   it	   was	   well	   done.	   Your	   report	   is	   divided	   into	   clear	   sections.	   This	   
                                    makes	   it	   easy	   to	   work	   through.	   
                   	   
                      To	   work	   on:	    To	   make	   it	   even	   better,	   I	   suggest	   adding	   a	   contents	   page	   just	   behind	   
                   	                the	   cover	   page.	   This	   will	   make	   it	   easier	   for	   people	   to	   understand	   how	   

               	                    the	   report	   is	   structured.	   
               4.  Feedback	   GROW	   

                   GROW	   assists	   in	   self-  reflection	   and	   future	   planning	   for	   improvement	   or	   achievement	   of	   
                   set	   up	   goals.	   It	   is	   a	   tool	   for	   the	   facilitator	   to	   encourage	   the	   learner	   to	   self-  review	   and	   
                   reflect.	   Well	   phrased	   and	   thought	   provoking	   questions	   are	   needed,	   as	   well	   as	   good	   
                   listening	   skills	   from	   both	   the	   facilitator	   and	   learner.	   



               	                            	   














               	                                                            	   
                                                                   OSEP	   Master	   Educator	   Learner’s	   Guide	     Page	   77
