The Role of Administrator Feedback

Administraive Feedback Supports Educator Self-Reflection.

Within the Portrait of an Educator (POE) model, high-quality, actionable feedback from administration plays a critical role in supporting and deepening the self-reflection process. Administrative feedback helps educators validate or recalibrate their self-assessment of proficiency in relation to the district’s competencies and learning targets. By providing timely, specific, and constructive input, administrators guide educators in identifying meaningful professional growth goals and aligning their instructional practices with student learning needs.

This feedback fosters a collaborative, growth-focused environment in which educators feel supported rather than evaluated, and it ensures that self-reflection leads to intentional, evidence-based improvements in practice. It also builds trust and promotes shared accountability, reinforcing the POE model’s commitment to continuous learning and educator empowerment.
