and collaboratively
focuses the

feedback on what
the teacher is
working on to
improve in order for
all teachers to move

Observations and

reflect a teacher’s

feedback designed to
move the teacher to
the next scale level
and the observer
monitors for if the
feedback moves the
majority of teachers

the scale.
Observations and

conducted but in a
