A Guide to Giving Constructive Feedback on Presentations 1. Explicitly identify and positively reinforce what was done well by the presenter. 2. Be helpful and be careful not to show how perceptive and superior you are; always be on the presenter’s side. 3. Give specific and clear feedback, not general or vague. 4. Prioritize your feedback- focus on the most important areas you have observed in the presentation. 5. Frame your feedback in terms of the presenter’s sharing; don’t explain what you have done in a similar situation in your area. 6. Offer feedback as a personal perception, not as “the truth.” 7. Avoid using words like “but”, “however”, and “no offense.” Any of these washes away any goodwill you created by acknowledging the goodness of what the presenter did in his/her school. These words might also raise defensive walls before the person has even had a chance to listen to what you are about to say. 8. End up a goal to provide additional information and build on what they have already achieved, and offer constructive feedback to the presenter for continuous improvement. 9. Winners for Best Paper in each Theme and Learning Area will represent the District Research Conference. Additional award will be given for Best Presenter. BEST PAPER CRITERIA FOR JUDGING A.
