3. Feedback processes, including practice educator and peer feedback and self evaluation.

Feedback too is an ongoing process. Usually it will involve yourself and ideally your student. You may or may not have access to other students to provide peer feedback. Some students may find evaluating their own performance uncomfortable. You may need to specify a focus to avoid very general observations being offered …"I think I did OK". e.g. You may ask him to identify three instances where he demonstrated sound communication skills. Remember if you are facilitating peer feedback that some preparatory information and modelling is required to avoid inappropriate feedback being given..

Asking your student to use the SPEF-R^© to self evaluate at halfway and final evaluation can also be a very valuable learning process. Remember if you are facilitating peer feedback that some preparatory information and modelling is required to avoid inappropriate feedback being given.
