FACE© Rater’s Handbook

Free Open Access Materials > Assessment, Feedback

The Feedback Assessment for Clinical Education© (FACE) is designed to assist in developing and evaluating reflective feedback skills among clinical instructors. The FACE evaluates the strategies and techniques used to facilitate reflective feedback conversations by examining concrete, observable behaviors of instructors. It is intended for formative feedback between an instructor and learner at any level of adult learning and can be used in a variety of healthcare disciplines involving a wide range of educational clinical experiences.

FACE Rater Handbook provides instructions and example instructor behaviors to assist in rating. In order to accurately assess and score the feedback conversation, the FACE Rater Handbook and FACE – Rater Version must be used concomitantly.
