Assignment:

Teachers Need Real Feedback

According to Gates, "until recently, over 98% of teachers just got one word of feedback: satisfactory." He and his wife, Melinda, have explored what makes successful teachers as they have observed many classrooms and created an Educational Foundation.

Bill Gates begins his TED Talk by focusing on the importance of feedback when trying to improve at any job or skill, even if it's just bridge playing (Gates' presentation includes photos of himself playing cards with his bridge coach). Why is having a coach important? Everyone needs feedback in order to become more proficient in their calling.

Why is feedback important?
What other ways can teachers receive effective feedback from administrators and students to perform at their best?
What is a coach?
Who could be your coach as a new teacher? It isn't always the principal.
What would you focus on if you were giving feedback to a teacher?

Be sure your answers relate to the video and that you cite the author.
