RISE Model for Meaningful Feedback

"I like it!"

How many times have you elicited feedback from students in the form of peer critiques and heard that superficial, vague response?

Although today's students are more connected than ever, the quality of their scholastic interaction, especially their ability to provide meaningful feedback, continues to suffer. When asserting an opinion about anything has become as simple as clicking a "Like" button, it is no wonder our students are at a loss when asked to perform a critical analysis.

Born out of the need for better communication and collaboration in an online classroom, the RISE Model was developed to guide peer-to-peer critiques and instructor-to-student feedback. Aligned with Bloom's taxonomy for higher order thinking, the four tiers of the model prompt students to reflect, then build their constructive analysis through inquiry, providing suggestions to help elevate each others work.
