Sparking Change Through Meaningful Feedback and Constructive Conversations

This interactive professional development experience empowers administrators to transform their feedback practices into catalysts for teacher growth. By examining real classroom examples and research-based strategies, participants explore how feedback can be used not only to assess performance, but to inspire revision, deepen learning, and strengthen teacher agency. The workshop emphasizes clarity, specificity, and the timing of feedback, showing how intentional communication can build teachers’ confidence and competence. Administrators will leave equipped with tools to make feedback a powerful, teacher-centered process.
