A practical four-step guide to making every classroom visit meaningful. Use the included framework and ready-to-use phrases to give feedback that is specific, encouraging, and easy to act on. Works for five-minute pop-ins and full lesson observations alike.

Why try it

Classroom visits are one of the most direct ways to support teacher growth, but the conversation afterward is where the real magic happens. When feedback is specific, warm, and tied to a clear next step, teachers feel seen and supported rather than evaluated.

Regular coaching conversations also build the kind of trust that makes your school a place people want to stay. A consistent presence and a habit of celebrating small wins creates a culture where growth feels safe and feedback feels like support, not a grade.
