Monitoring your feedback system
Using the Feedback Coverage dashboard, school leaders can immediately answer questions like:
- How often is feedback being given?
- Who is receiving feedback?
- Who is giving feedback?
- Who is not receiving feedback?
- Who is not giving feedback?
- Is feedback being given evenly across the Habits?
This dashboard can be used as a monitoring tool so that leaders can find out very quickly if feedback is being given and received with the intended regularity.
To access this dashboard, navigate to Dashboards > Feedback Coverage

Top tips đź’ˇ
Who is receiving and giving feedback?
Many schools use the Feedback Coverage dashboard regularly to check their feedback schedule is being followed by leaders. To use this strategy in your school, do the following:
- Navigate to Dashboards > Feedback Coverage > Summary Tables
- Apply the required timeframe filter
- In the 'Feedback User Summary' table, use the sort feature on the 'Records' column to see how many feedback records have been created by leaders in the selected timeframe
Tracking feedback coverage by Habit
Looking at schools’ data on the Feedback Coverage > Summary Tables > Coverage by Habit page, one observation we have made is that there can be a natural tendency for the behaviour or classroom culture Habit to be the area where most feedback is given, especially where leaders are conducting shorter lesson drop-ins. This raises useful questions about how much coverage we are giving to each area of pedagogy and about leaders’ varying levels of confidence in giving feedback across our Habits.
