Start having better feedback conversations with teachers.
Through feedback conversations, principals and teachers form a partnership to make the most of professional growth opportunities, leading teachers to feel supported and more likely to stay in the profession.
Developed by the Network for Educator Effectiveness, the Guide to Effective Feedback Conversations includes:
- A five-step process and three “golden rules” to help school leaders provide better feedback to teachers
- Four paths to effective feedback to help school leaders tailor their feedback based on the needs of each teacher
- Suggested questions to ask during feedback conversations to prompt reflection
- Example action steps to align feedback to a teacher’s professional development
- Example feedback statements for six high-leverage indicators of effective teaching practice
- Feedback notes to help school leaders prepare for and conduct feedback conversations
