#educoach Thanks for your insights and thoughts about feedback tonight.

#educoach A6 Data for feedback conversations come from all aspects of our work--student work, teacher created work, our actions/behaviors in meetings, others' perceptions of us, our own observations, etc.

#educoach A5 Inviting the learner to define a learning focus, clarify its indicators of success, and identify the data that will help measure and monitor progress are ways coaches cultivate and motivate learning in teachers.

#educoach A4 The coach/teacher uses questions or invitations to support the learner/teacher to discover feedback. The discovery comes from the learner inquiring, analyzing, and reflecting on process, content, self, etc.

#educoach A typical week for a coach!
My week: Co-taught six classes, led 1 PD, attended 1 PD, 1 observation and feedback cycle, coaching a counselor on NBPTS, debriefing with a teacher on his personalized PD plan, answered several teacher questions and needs, and prepped for 2 meetings. Two more days. #educoach

And ensuring that students make sense of it in order to use it. That is often the missing piece in feedback given rather than feedback constructed. #educoach
A3. Didn't @dylanwiliam say that if we don't see students using the feedback then why should we give it. It's not just conveying information...but more importantly seeing how the learner applies it to demonstrate understanding. #educoach
