Learning and Improving With Feedback

Allan Hardy, Principal
Management expert Ken Blanchard observed that “feedback is the breakfast of champions.” The release of the first progress report of the year gives students an opportunity to use feedback from their teachers to help them move forward.
The breakfast cereal Wheaties became famous for two things: featuring a prominent athlete on the front of the cereal box and by claiming their product was the breakfast of champions. Management expert Ken Blanchard emphasized the importance of feedback by referring to it as the breakfast of champions. To be successful, you need to be open to feedback about where you are doing well and where you could improve. This is the type of growth mindset we are trying to encourage in our students. We want to see progress reports and other types of feedback as an opportunity to keep growing. Over the next week, students will work closely with their advisers on this process.
