Mastering Feedback: from Miscommunication to Closed-Loop Information (Post Recording Video)

When we think of “feedback,” it’s often tied to grades, reviews, or criticism at the end of a process. But what if feedback became a living stream of information for guiding growth, improving communication, and strengthening trust along the way? In this session, Karli Grove redefines feedback as a tool for simply collecting information throughout the process instead of just at the end. Through relatable examples and take-home questions to build from, you’ll explore six key elements of feedback: direction, timing, voice, interpretation, repercussions, and feedback (of feedback). You’ll uncover where your current approach may create gaps and will learn practical strategies to transform feedback into clear, constructive conversations. Expect a thought provoking and hands-on experience that shifts frustrating miscommunication into tools for navigating feedback as information that deepens communication with students, colleagues, and school leadership.
