Feedback is Transformational
It can inform a teacher how they are going!
Requires Change Management• Communication with stakeholders• Address emotional issues – fear, uncertainty• Create ownership• It is part of Quality Teaching
It is a journey! It is the Path of Most Resistance!It is a struggle, hard work and takes time!

What is quality feedback?SET-GO Model
What I Saw was... (specific, descriptive)Teacher prompts if necessary with:
What Else did you see?What did you Think, learner? (encourage learner to problem solve for themselves)
Teacher then facilitates in problem-solvingLet's clarify what Goal we would like to achieve.Any Offers of how we could achieve this?

BOOST ModelBalanced. Include both good and bad pointsObserved. Only give examples of what you have seen the learner see and
do, don't bring in your preconceptions or previous experienceObjective or Owned. Make sure your feedback is factual and based on
actions, not any prior emotional response you may have to the personSpecific. Always use specific examples to illustrate a comment. Exactly
why or how was the action done well or badly? Avoid broad statementsTimely. Feedback should be given as close to the event as possible to
ensure accuracy and effectiveness
