Support for Growth: How States Can Improve the Quality of Post-Observation Feedback
Reform Support Network
The Reform Support Network has published "Support for Growth: How States Can Improve the Quality of Post-Observation Feedback" based on recommendations generated during a July 2014 Reform Support Network convening of leaders from nine States. It offers six strategies to accurately assess the performance of teachers and provide them with specific and actionable feedback: (1) teaching principals how to deliver high-quality feedback; (2) monitoring the quality of feedback to teachers; (3) creating networks of districts and providing targeted support; (4) evaluating principals on their ability to deliver high-quality feedback; (5) building capacity at the district level to collect, analyze and respond to data; and (6) working with principal preparation programs to produce principal candidates who know how to provide high-quality feedback. The publication summarizes the strategies and offers examples of their implementation in the field.
