Building and district administrators responsible for providing feedback to adults for state evaluation systems.

Abstract: Many variables affect student achievement. The variable with the largest and most durable effect size is instructional quality. Instructional quality is largely a product of the teacher’s skills, techniques, and approaches to teaching. These skills, techniques, and approaches are highly developable through skillful observation, feedback and coaching. Over time, school leaders, through skillful feedback and coaching, can create school cultures that attract and retain even more skillful teachers. And the cycle continues… to the great benefit of student learning.

1. The evidence and rationale for the provision of skillful observation, feedback,, and coaching of teachers.
