Identifying themes as they arise
Using the Feedback Feed dashboard, school leaders can immediately answer questions like:
- What is the quality of feedback being given?
- What are the teaching and learning themes arising?
- Are strengths being celebrated at the same time as action steps being set?
- Are some habits being evaluated more often than others?
Typically, schools use the Feedback Feed dashboard to gain an understanding of themes relating to teaching and learning as they arise so they can adapt their strategy accordingly.
To access this dashboard, navigate to Dashboards > Feedback Feed

Top tips 💡
Leaders
Some schools in our network have an embedded 'high frequency, low stakes' feedback model and therefore provide feedback to their teachers roughly once per 2-3 weeks. This gives them a rich source of 'Comments' to read through in the Feedback Feed dashboard. Teaching and Learning leads often present a summary of key themes arising to their senior teams on Mondays so that leaders know what to look for during learning walks over the course of the week.
To access this information for your school:
- Navigate to Dashboards > Feedback Feed
- Select the Timeframe > Date range filter
- Enter a date range of the last week, or whichever date range you prefer, to view comments from the most recent feedback given to your teachers
Teachers
In conjunction with your Teacher Overview page, use the Feedback Feed dashboard to inform your CPD by looking for patterns across your evaluative ratings and reading back over action steps, strengths and comments from specific timeframes.
