299. Feed Forward: The Culture Tool You're Missing
About this episode
Ever given a teacher feedback and watched her shut down right in front of you? This week, Chanie breaks down the real difference between feedback and feed forward, and why one keeps your team stuck while the other actually helps them grow.
- Why feedback can trigger fight, flight, or freeze in your team
- A real coaching story about a curriculum specialist who was hypercritical with one age group
- The exact questions that help a teacher see her own blind spots
- How often you should be running formal check-ins with your staff
- Who you should actually be asking for feedback, and who you shouldn't
Tune in for a practical shift you can use in your very next coaching conversation.
