6. Review PAL 3 Rubric for Feedback What data will you collect as you watch the video? How will you determine whether it is a “two-way” discussion? Suggestion for feedback provider: Instead of “I like the way you…” …replace with “When you did this ____, the [learner] did this ____.” i.e. What were the outcomes of the behavior?

7. Video of feedback session: Preparing for PAL 3 (and beyond…) Partner A: 1 min: Tell what you want feedback about 10 min: Share a 10-minute segment of your video 3-5 min: Share reflections on the video Partner A & B 8-10 min: Partner B shares relevant data from the video (based on Rubric 3.c. & Partner A’s focus); discussion.
