Avenue Instructor Standards for TELL 02/05/24 version 21 Reflection: How do you present formative feedback to learners? How does it vary in response to learners’ needs? ☐ I provide learners with useful and relevant technology-enhanced feedback to support their needs. ☐ I use different types of technology-enhanced feedback when interacting with learners. ☐ I recognize that feedback should sometimes address learners’ short-term and long-term needs. PI 6.5. Use technology to enable learner reflection, self-evaluation, and peer-evaluation. Guide learners to technology resources and tools that enable reflection and evaluation. Learners can use technologies like Big Blue Button to record themselves speaking to one another and then listening in order to identify aspects of their own speech, as well as peers’ speech, that can be improved. Rubrics with common speech characteristics can help learners to critically engage in such practices. Help learners contribute to and use digital portfolios that demonstrate their actual language abilities in context and engage them in ongoing dialogue about the benefits of reflection and evaluation. Reflection: Are your learners capable of peer and self-evaluation? How do you promote this? ☐ I use technology to enable learner reflection. ☐ I encourage learners to use technology such as digital portfolios for self-evaluation. ☐ I enable learner peer-evaluation through technology. Standard 7 is about establishing and maintaining professional connections online. Use technology to connect with peers in a community of practice for pedagogical and personal support. PI 7.1. Acknowledge that a professional online community forms a structure that facilitates learning through interactions and relationships with others. Sometimes a lesson plan that had gone so well in the past didn’t go as well the next time. Improve your practice by sharing such experiences with colleagues and considering new strategies that have worked for others. Make use of professional learning networks like LinkedIn and Facebook groups to share and learn. Interacting with likeminded colleagues helps build professional relationships that will strengthen practices over the years. There are many online communities that are safe to share your thoughts, ask for advice and get feedback. As an example, talk with colleagues at work about a lesson that didn’t go as planned or share the frustration you experienced during a class session.
