Just because the school year’s wrapping up doesn’t mean our work is done. In fact, this is PRIME TIME for something super important… giving your students the kind of feedback that doesn’t just slap a period at the end of their year—but leaves them feeling seen, motivated, and ready to crush whatever’s next.

Report card comments, one-on-one chats, end-of-year conferences today, we’re digging into how to give constructive feedback that’s honest, uplifting, and rooted in growth. We’ve got research, we’ve got real talk, we’ve got tips—basically, we’ve got your back.

Topics Discussed

• Why end of year feedback matters
• How to give honest, growth-focused feedback
• One on one conferences - why they're worth it
• Writing report card comments that actually mean something
• Building students up
• Practical takeaways
