Writer’s Workshop Feedback Strategies

Receiving Feedback using ACCESSIBL

A good way to teach students to receive feedback is to be ACCESSIBL:

  • Accepting of the impact you may have had on your audience—avoid being too quick to dismiss comments made about your work
  • Clear about the advice offered—seek clarification if you are confused or uncertain about what is said
  • Convert your feedback into concrete action—for example, create a checklist for future pieces of work
  • Explicit about the areas on which you want to receive feedback—this will help produce more meaningful feedback from your peers
  • Self-aware—be alert to your emotional and intellectual responses to what others tell you
  • Summarize what you have been told
  • Insistent—keep asking specific questions if you feel you are not receiving the detailed feedback you were expecting
  • Believe that the person giving feedback has your best intentions at heart and wants to help you improve
    Listen to advice and avoid the temptation to become defensive.
