CloseFeedback is the last step in a Planned Instructional Sequence. After the educator or staff member gives a cue, offers help (if needed), and notices the correct response from the child, the adult gives positive feedback, specific to the behavior. These videos show examples of successful responses and positive feedback from the adults who offer help. Positive responses make it clear to the child that they have done something well, increasing the likelihood the child will do it again next time.
