Parents of Hardworking Teens Katie Jones

Ep. 96
This is a story from a consult I had recently with a student who’d just completed the 10WGT and they happened to mention something super-cool that happened, that I don’t think they realised was as big a deal as it is. 

Because the feedback they got from their teacher that turned from an initial criticism to  a 'reluctant' compliment, I think is in fact the ULTIMATE compliment. 
The ultimate proof of success and the ultimate in strategic study and performance in assessments. 

Listen in to find out what it was and how your teen can do it too.

Ep. 95 -
Feedback on a draft is an excellent opportunity to up-level and learn about how to achieve higher level criteria.
But I've seen LOTS of instances where students feel annoyed, confused or deflated by the feedback they receive (or sometimes lack of it).
Has your teen ever been frustrated by the feedback they've received on a draft assignment or coursework?
There are some things that may be out of their control (or that need addressing further with the teacher or school), but there are also a lot of things that they can do to ensure they get the most useful, valuable and actionable feedback possible.

Exams, assignments, essays... every piece of internal assessment and coursework goes through rigorous and specific stages in being written, developed and finalised, whether it's through the school or an exam board.

Why does this matter to you and your teen?
Because knowing how and where the task is coming from is SUPER-useful when it comes to your teen completing it smoothly, confidently and successfully.
