Too frequently classroom observations are followed up by a short report and then teaching moves on with the report stashed away in a desk or as a forgotten email. Ā Observations, though, are an important part of a broader feedback loop that is a powerful professional learning experience that builds teacher capacity. Ā Just like the feedback we give to students, administrators and instructional leaders can use observations and the resulting feedback to help provide individualized learning and coaching opportunities for teachers. Ā This resource shares a flowchart showing steps in a feedback loop that has the goal of ensuring consistent implementation of practices to promote student success.
