Strategically Giving Teachers Positive Feedback

UnCoference 1-29-09 Thursday afternoon

What to do about the tendency of some teachers to feel they don’t get enough support.

Questions: • How do we make it authentic? • How do we get to everyone? Do we? -Keep a list of faculty • Is there an inherent difference b/w relationship of Admin and Teachers in lower and upper schools? • Is this a problem of only a few teachers’ perception?

Suggestions: • Leaving notes for teachers after spending informal time in their classroom o I noticed… I wondered... • See everyone within a week - not to leave a note, just to stay in touch • Handwritten note on a card when someone does something that required extra effort o Organizing a field trip for example
