High‑quality lesson visits have the potential to significantly improve teaching, but only when the feedback is clear, specific, and directly connected to student learning. Aimed at teachers, Middle Leaders, and those involved in developing teaching and learning, this session reframes observations – or visits – as learning‑focused enquiries rather than performance checks. Together, participants will look closely at how to collect meaningful classroom evidence by noticing what students are doing, saying, writing, and thinking, and how to connect these insights to precise teacher actions that shape learning. We will model short, effective feedback conversations that identify one high‑leverage next step, avoiding vague praise, generic targets, or overwhelming lists of “areas to improve.” Drawing on research‑informed practice and real classroom examples, this session offers practical tools and scripts that make feedback clearer, calmer, and genuinely developmental. Participants will leave with a simple, sustainable approach to lesson visits that builds trust and leads to lasting improvements in teacher practice.
