Three Simple Frameworks for Feedback - Source Of these frameworks, I especially like the +/Delta list. It's very easy to remember and recreate for different applications. I think one of the main things I like about it is that it feels like I have control of the things I do and areas that could use improvement. If I were in a teaching position, I think it would really push students to consider the things they do well, because recognizing your strengths is an important part of growth.

I used to be terrified of failing and because of that I stopped myself from doing a whole lot of things and sort of robbed myself of a lot of development. Fast forward to now, and I love a challenge. I love trying to figure something out and I don't worry too much about reaching the goal I'm striving for. Obviously attaining the goal I'm working for is ideal, but honestly I think you learn a lot more through failure than success. That's not to say I don't care about succeeding in things, but I have learned to value the journey since coming to college. One model that I think is somewhat applicable here is t...
