Original Prompt

create a worksheet that an adult learner can use to complete a 4A Protocol: 1. Identify the Assumptions about instructional feedback included in the video. 2. What points do you agree with? 3. What concerns or arguments do you have? 4. What are you motivated to act upon?

This learning resource introduces the 4A Protocol, a structured framework designed for educators to reflect on and improve instructional feedback methods. The protocol guides users through four stages: Agree, Argue, Aspire, and Act, allowing for a collaborative analysis of feedback practices. The material includes prompts for note-taking while watching an accompanying video, questions to uncover assumptions about teaching and learning, and sections devoted to identifying agreement with presented strategies, exploring any counterarguments, and discussing actionable steps for professional development. Key components include personal reflections, self-assessment of feedback practices, and creation of SMART goals to enhance instructional feedback. This framework promotes critical analysis and encourages educators to evaluate how feedback can effectively support student learning.
