What are the best ways to give effective lesson feedback?
Feedback can be stressful for all of us. As observers, we need to provide feedback in a timely, supportive and effective manner.
Lesson observations, learning walks, team teaching – all things that can strike fear into the heart of a teacher. However we phrase it, the thought of an observer coming into a classroom often makes people nervous, regardless of how friendly the face is. In order to make the whole experience more supportive and beneficial for a teacher, we need to make sure that we give effective lesson feedback that is delivered in a timely and professional manner. This way, teachers need not fear the whole process and instead start to see the benefits.
