Targeted Feedback Institute

Giving targeted feedback is a powerful skill and an important support for helping teachers grow their practice throughout a school year. This kind of professional support serves to give immediate feedback to teachers in relation to a specific learning goal or area of focus they choose.

The Center for Educational Leadership has been training teacher, school and district leaders in targeted feedback work for the past several years. In this institute, participants will learn the characteristics of effective targeted feedback and how to engage in feedback cycles with their teachers that result in improved student outcomes.

How will people on the waitlist be notified if space in a sold-out institute becomes available?

Once an institute reaches capacity, you may add yourself to a waitlist. If spaces open up more than one month prior to an institute, the event registration system Eventbrite notifies people via email in the order that they joined the waitlist, and gives each person 24 hours to register. If the person does not register in the 24-hour period, Eventbrite notifies the next person on the waitlist, and so forth. Within one month of an event, any open spaces are filled on a first-come, first-registered basis by notifying everyone on the waitlist via email. Please add @eventbrite.com, @uw.edu, @k-12leadership.org, and @hubspot.com to your safe sender's list. Note that the refund policy applies to people registering from the waitlist.
