Episode 2 breaks down the “See It. Name It. Do It.” coaching cycle from Get Better Faster and shows how leaders can deliver high-impact, real-time feedback that quickly improves teacher practice and student engagement.

Perfect for principals, APs, instructional coaches, and leaders looking to build confidence in coaching cycles and classroom walk-throughs.

🔑 Key Takeaways

  1. Real-Time Feedback Builds Faster Growth
    You don’t need a full post-conference to make change — micro-feedback works.
  2. Observe for Engagement, Not Just Instruction
    Zero in on what students are doing — that’s your coaching target.
  3. Use the Feedback Formula: See It → Name It → Do It
    Clear, specific, and practiced feedback is what moves the needle.
  4. Practice Matters More Than Telling
    Don’t leave without a rehearsal — even a 30-second one creates muscle memory.
