From Observations to Outcomes: Mastering the Art of Actionable Feedback
LIMITED
Tuesday July 28, 2026 10:45am - 12:15pm MDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Why is it that we provide feedback, yet instructional practices often remain unchanged? According to Many, Maffoni, Sparks, and Thomas in "Amplify Your Impact", the gap isn't a lack of effort—it's a lack of actionability. In this session, we will discuss how to move beyond "polite praise" and evaluative checklists. Administrators will develop Feedback Loops to spark immediate professional growth. We will explore how to ensure that teachers leave every interaction not just knowing what happened, but exactly how to improve it.
