The Power of Positive Regard: Revisiting Corrective Performance Feedback with Generation Z Students

In this session we discuss the learning preferences of millennial and Generation Z students particularly in reference to how these preferences affect the in-person delivery of corrective performance feedback. We discuss positive regard and its relevance to giving students corrective feedback. Through our discussion we will examine how positive regard involves a blending of coaching and counseling and what teaching practices can be used to show positive regard. We aim to develop a set of best practices for providing corrective performance feedback and discuss which points are unique to the new generations and which points are time-tested.
