The real purpose of observation & feedback
is not to evaluate a teacher,
but to develop them
Teachers grow with bite-sized feedback that you
practice to perfection.

Four Keys
Making Observation & Feedback Effective
![Page 17: Observation and Feedback - National Charter Schools …€¦ · · 2015-06-23The real purpose of observation & feedback is not to evaluate a teacher, but to develop them Teachers](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051601/5ac618067f8b9a2b5c8df997/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Four Keys:
Regular Observation:
• Lock in frequent and regular observations
Right Action Steps:
• Choose the best action steps for improvement in each classroom observation
Effective Feedback:
• Give face-to-face feedback that practices action step
Accountability:
• Create systems to ensure feedback translates to practice

The Right Action Step
A Sampling of Action Steps
![Page 23: Observation and Feedback - National Charter Schools …€¦ · · 2015-06-23The real purpose of observation & feedback is not to evaluate a teacher, but to develop them Teachers](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051601/5ac618067f8b9a2b5c8df997/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sample Feedback Actions for Teachers: What Characteristics do these action steps have in common?
Action Steps—Management:
• Stand at the corner of the room so that you can see all
students
• Be Seen Looking: crane your neck to appear to be seeing all
corners of the room
Action Steps—Student Misunderstanding:
• Roll back the answer: repeat the wrong answer back to the
student to get them time to identify their error
• Close the loop: after correcting the error, go back to students
with the wrong answer to have them summarize
23
![Page 24: Observation and Feedback - National Charter Schools …€¦ · · 2015-06-23The real purpose of observation & feedback is not to evaluate a teacher, but to develop them Teachers](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051601/5ac618067f8b9a2b5c8df997/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Adults can really only improve in 1-2 areas at a time.
The most effective coaches, then, narrow their focus to
the highest leverage action steps—and nothing more.

Criteria for Right Action Steps:
Clear and Measurable:
• Can anyone understand the action?
• Can you easily measure if the teacher has made the
change? What evidence will you have of mastery?
Bite-sized:
• If you can’t make the change in a week, the action
step isn’t small enough
Highest Leverage:
• Will this help the teacher to develop most quickly
and effectively?

Feedback on Effective Action Steps:
RECEIVE FEEDBACK (3 min)
• Share the final action steps for each slide
• Give feedback to the objectives based on the key
questions:
o Is it high-leverage: will it make a significant impact?

teacher will be able to do when they walk out of the
meeting? Will you be able to easily evaluate if they
accomplished the lever?
o Is it bite-sized: can a teacher accomplish this in one
week?

• What is “off” about teacher or student actions? What is the root
cause of that ineffectiveness?
• Develop the best action step for the teacher to take
• Generate the larger PD goal and focus for upcoming weeks
• Criteria for selection of the action step:
Highest Leverage:
• Will it make the biggest impact the most quickly?

Most feedback goes poorly because of
an imprecise action step.
An action step is clear if you can see it or hear it.
Getting it right is half the battle.

Six Steps to Effective Feedback:
1. PRAISE: narrate the positive with precise praise
2. PROBE: Use targeted open-ended question and scaffold
to identify the core issue
3. ACTION STEP: state concrete action step
4. PLAN AHEAD: Design/revise upcoming lesson plan to
implement action
5. PRACTICE: Role play/simulate how to improve current
class
6. FOLLOW-UP: Establish timeline when action step will be
completed
