Thank you for your feedback
Create your own, bespoke filters
Tags can be assigned to feedback records so that you can review all feedback submitted with the same tag.
Tags are useful for recording any particular focus of a lesson visit, for example 'SEND review' or 'Pupil Premium Spotlight'. Or perhaps you have a half-termly CPD theme zoning in on a specific piece of pedagogy from one of your habits, for example, 'Cold calling'? You may choose to create a Tag for this so that best practice can be highlighted and then shared over the course of the half-term.
Tags are quick to create and remove from your platform, so you can take a really flexible approach to using them.

Top tips 💡
On one of our school visits to Highdown School and Sixth Form Centre, we saw some particularly interesting use of Tags.
Hidden Highdowners
‘Hidden Highdowners’ are typically children who consistently come into school and do the right thing, but who might go under the radar. They are a year-long focus group for teachers, alongside the more commonly targeted groups. The school uses a ‘Hidden Highdowner’ Tag in the platform and the group is a focus in a particular round of lesson drop-ins. It’s then easy for leaders to filter for this Tag on the Dashboards > Feedback Feed page, read through the feedback and gauge the impact of this initiative.
Bring Your Own Device
Another initiative that has been rolled out successfully at Highdown is their ‘bring your own device’ scheme. The rollout has required a lot of monitoring, so a ‘BYOD’ (Bring your Own Device) Tag was created specifically to track the implementation of the scheme.
