Giving feedback is an important part of being an instructional leader. It’s a way to let teachers know what they’re doing well and what areas need improvement. But giving feedback doesn’t have to be all negative. In fact, it’s important to give positive feedback, too. Here are 10 examples of how you can give positive feedback to a teacher after an observation.
1. “I noticed that you…”
2. “I really liked the way you…”
3. “Your students seemed to really enjoy…”
4. “The way you handled that situation was really effective.”
5. “Your use of technology in the classroom was really well done.”
6. “I was really impressed with the way you…”
7. “Your lesson was very well organized.”
8. “You have a really great rapport with your students.”
9. “Your enthusiasm for the subject matter was really evident.”
10. “You did a great job of differentiating instruction for your students.”
Giving positive feedback is just as important as giving negative feedback. By focusing on the positives, you’re letting the teacher know what they’re doing well and what areas they should continue to focus on. This will help them feel more confident in their abilities and encourage them to keep up the good work.
