Feedback That Moves People Forward

Effective feedback isn't about grading — it's about guiding. Whether you're working with kindergartners or adult learners, the principles are the same: feedback must be immediate, descriptive, and tied to a clear next step. This infographic draws from B.F. Skinner's The Technology of Teaching and Linda Nilson's Teaching at Its Best to give instructional leaders a practical, research-grounded framework for providing feedback that deepens critical conversations at every level. Save it, share it, and use it as a team discussion starter.
