Sharing Deeper Feedback to Support Learning Improvements

Available Now

Overview

Observing teachers in practice and providing timely, specific feedback is an integral component of improving teaching and learning. While improving instruction is a core function of school leaders, many struggle to find the time to observe live or asynchronous instruction, and even more so to give actionable feedback. Once cycles for feedback and observation have been  created, the work must extend to actually providing teachers with timely, specific, and relevant feedback to instruction that results in improved student outcomes.  This session will equip instructional leaders with some tools for illuminating deeper feedback to support teaching and learning.

Audience

This session is designed for district,  school, and teacher leaders who interface with school-level educators to provide instructional support, training, and leadership.
