Preschoolers and Praise: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow? & How to Give Bad Feedback Without Being a Jerk

    I think learning feedback strategies is important. In most of the classes that I have taken since I have attended OU has required us to implore so version of feedback. Mostly in discussions, we have had to reply and give feedback to our peers, however, we have never been taught how our feedback can be part of their learning process. The first article Preschoolers and Praise explored the growth mindset. More specifically, mindsets are malleable and can be changed. One of the more important ideas it explored was replacing generic praise with process praise. This is important as this article focuses on fixing mindsets in children which is great as it is important to introduce these ideas at a young age. Next, I read the article How to Give Bad Feedback Without  Being a Jerk which explored four important steps to make your criticism constructive. The first step explaining you’re giving the feedback and following with taking yourself off a pedestal. Taking yourself off a pedestal is important because a negative feedback can make people inferior which makes leveling the playing field less threatening.  The third step is asking if the person wants feedback and the final step is to have a transparent dialogue.

 Hello, My name is Wesley Williams and I am a biology pre-dentistry major. The coolest thing about my major is that I only had to take Calculus and not go any further in math. One of the best classes I took last semester was Native American Music. It was really easy and the teacher made it very enjoyable as we learned about the music culture of different Native American tribes. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going on a vegetarian diet for two weeks. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power. A couple of my favorite movies are Blue Streak, Juice, Paid in Full, and American Assassin. Some of my favorite music artists are Juice Wrld, Polo G, Money Man, and Rod Wave. I listen to a lot of different artists but those are a few that I am currently listening to a lot. Some of my hobbies are playing video games, working out, and watching TV. One thing I would like to try if I had more time is going golfing. A few of my favorite foods a

The Streets Tyrone and Sasha were a very loving couple and have gone through a lot together. They were together when Tyrone was arrested and sent away to live on his own. Tyrone and Sasha were together when Sasha was kidnapped by her crazy ex-boyfriend. This may have been one of the worst tragedies this couple has faced. However, through it all, they have stayed together and have managed to keep their relationship intact. This was until the rumors had started. Many rumors were surfacing that Sasha was not kidnapped by her crazy ex-boyfriend, but that she had left on her own accord to be with him.
