In Achieve, you can see all sorts of data about your students, which is great--except when you are overwhelmed by data. Here is one brief example of what you could do with information gleaned about your students from our research team here at Macmillan:
After viewing Achieve Insights for your course or students, here are some ways you can leverage strengths-based approaches to share feedback with students:
- Help students identify talents or tasks performed exceptionally well (1).
- Prompt students to consciously think about how to maximize performance in these areas of talent (1).
- Encourage students to engage in more adaptive thinking around their performance by asking them to reflect on a time when they were successful; What strengths or talents did they use during that time? How did they use their strengths during that time (2)?
- Focus student attention on resources available to them and their preferred future outcomes, rather than past histories or problems (3).
- Promote healthy self-acceptance and internalization of the fact that everyone is fallible, nobody’s perfect.
