Giving and Receiving Feedback
Give and receive constructive feedback — telling someone what they did well and what could be improved in a way that is helpful rather than hurtful, and receiving feedback about their own work without becoming defensive
Suggested ages 9–11
Learning journey
Your child is developing advanced social skills — learning to communicate assertively, help resolve conflicts between friends, reflect on their own behaviour in relationships, and give and receive helpful feedback.
Evidence of understanding
- Give feedback that includes both a specific positive point and a constructive suggestion
- Receive feedback about their own work without getting upset or dismissive
- Explain why constructive feedback helps people improve
Assessment prompt
If Giving and Receiving Feedback reviews a classmate's story and finds mistakes, can they give feedback that's helpful — like 'I loved this part, and this bit could be clearer' — rather than just saying 'it's wrong'?
