I agree with all of this, and I'm so impressed with the post-mortem (that's what we called them at my university paper) meeting on what worked and what didn't at OLA. We really can't improve without looking at strengths and weaknesses. <br /><br />Your editing story was fascinating. In my conversation with Cherie Dimaline (Marrow Thieves) and her editor, Barry Jowett, I heard a similar story of reexamination, of diving back in and really thinking about what might happen if.... I am astounded by the resilience of writers. <br /><br />I suck at accepting constructive criticism. People with ADD have this lovely thing called rejection dysphoria, where we take any “negative” feedback deeply to heart, and it can be really crippling. <br /><br />I really do feel that it's possible for students to give each other gentle, helpful feedback that's much more easily accepted than if it comes from the adult in the space. I think we can teach our students to give effective feedback to one another and to us.

Unfortunately, I learned from that book study that it takes a while to build that structure so that people are ready to give and receptive to receive quality feedback. I don't know what the reaction would be if you said, "Hey, Teacher X, I feel grateful when I'm invited to teach about keywords. I feel excluded when I'm not asked to continue working together and I need to be involved at a deeper level - can I help you assess the final product, at least, or co-teach a lesson on synthesis or plagiarism?" Can any of my teacher-librarian friends reading this provide any other advice for my friend here?MZMollyTLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565896547458451347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692067574614653754.post-78754060743253655242018-02-05T10:15:38.924-08:002018-02-05T10:15:38.924-08:00Yes, feedback is important as well as full collabo...Yes, feedback is important as well as full collaboration. I often find it frustrating to provide a research lesson usually involving keyword searches and effective database searching for a project and then not be involved with the rest of the lesson. When the instructor is approached, almost always the end result is the failure of students to synthesize the information and put it in their own words.
