Feedback That Moves the Needle.

For schools where feedback is generic, teacher time disappears into comments, and students still do not act on what they receive.

The outcome

What teachers leave with.

This is a build-and-practice session. Teachers work on their own classroom material and leave with artifacts they can use, not a binder of ideas to revisit someday.

  • A rehearsed 30-second One-Breath Conference teachers can use during class.
  • A department-built feedback Codebook with eight reusable codes.
  • One complete feedback loop that requires students to act on what they receive.
  • Three dated commitments tied to upcoming assignments.
Fit check

Know before you buy.

A good turnkey kit should help you say no as clearly as it helps you say yes.

Best for

  • Grades 6–12 faculties across subjects.
  • Schools where written comments take too long and produce too little revision.
  • Instructional coaches or department leads who can keep practice blocks moving.

Not the right fit if…

  • You want a keynote or a passive overview of feedback research.
  • Your main need is a new grading scale or report-card policy.
  • You cannot give teachers time to rehearse with their own upcoming work.
The workshop day

An agenda with the doing protected.

The sequence moves from productive discomfort to two usable systems, then gives teachers repeated practice before they commit.

  1. The Feedback Graveyard
    Autopsy activity and the Four Feedback Killers.
  2. The One-Breath Conference
    Live demonstration and timed practice.
  3. Break
  4. The Codebook System
    Department teams build eight reusable codes.
  5. The Feedback Loop
    Teachers design one structure that requires action.
  6. Ten Feedback Moves
    Rapid practice with six live moves and four self-serve moves.
  7. Build Your Feedback System
    Three commitments, dates, and close.
What is included

Everything the facilitator and teachers need.

Every package is built from version-controlled source and checked for missing files, placeholder text, print overflow, and mismatched front/back card layouts before the ZIP is created.

Facilitator system

Scripted guide in print PDF, editable Markdown, and reflowable accessible HTML.

34-slide deck

Editable PowerPoint with notes on every slide, plus accessible slide text and notes.

Nine handouts

Autopsy packet, One-Breath card, Codebook, loop sheet, ten moves, commitment card, student sheet, walkthrough guide, and survey.

Prep Partner

An interactive checklist that holds the first-run preparation and red-line tasks.

Print directions

Exact duplex, cardstock, cut, lamination, and participant-count guidance.

30-day follow-through

One cohort of up to 25 teachers, starting when the cohort launches.

Prep, honestly

No “open the deck five minutes before.”

The first run asks for real preparation. The rerun is faster because the facilitator already knows the material and can reuse the durable pieces.

First run
About 3 hours

Read the guide, learn the Autopsy Packet, rehearse the 30-second demonstration against a timer, and complete a modest print-and-cut job.

Rerun
45–60 minutes

Recheck the room, roster, print counts, and the guide's timing notes. A new site may add coordination time.

Room and technology: Tables of 4–6 and a projector. No speakers, video, or participant logins are required for the workshop.
Real material, not a mockup

Actual kit excerpt · Handout 2, One-Breath Conference Card

The whole conference in one breath

  1. Name what is working: “Your thesis is clear and arguable.”
  2. Name one specific gap: “Your second paragraph makes a claim but does not support it with evidence.”
  3. Give one specific action: “Go to page 12. Find one quote. Add it with a sentence of analysis.”
  4. Set a checkpoint: “I will come back in four minutes to see your revision.”
One gap. One action. The student acts immediately.
The workshop is day one
