3. What do all of these sites have in common?
What is the purpose of these sites? Who provides the feedback on these sites? Are the people providing feedback doctors, movie producers, hotel managers? Why is the feedback on these sites so important and valuable? Key to emphasize that the feedback on the sites is constructed by people who have had first-hand experience with what they are reviewing. In schools- WHO really has a first-hand experience with teachers? STUDENTS.
What do all of these sites have in common?

4. Why Kids Should Grade Teachers
The Big Three Activity
Identify THREE takeaways from the article on notecard
Take THREE minutes to share your takeaways with someone else
To begin the discussion around students providing feedback to teachers, participants will read the article “Why Kids Should Grade Teachers” written by Amanda Ripley. Participants will be asked to write down 3 big ideas/takeaways from the article and be prepared to share those with another person. Volunteers will be asked to share out some powerful takeaways.

5. Why Kids Should Grade Teachers My Big Three
Test scores can reveal when kids are not learning; they can’t reveal WHY. They might make teachers relax or despair- but they can’t help teachers improve.
Survey results don’t change depending on race or income- not the case with test data, which can rise depending on how white and affluent a school is.
If you ask kids the right questions, they can identify, with uncanny accuracy, their most- and least-effective teachers.
Will share my big three takeaways- focus on the research that was referenced in the article that confirms the reliability of student voice as a viable measure. Share professional example of Stakeholder Surveys that were conducted when I was a principal/teacher. Transition to teacher highlighted in Teaching Channel video and how he uses the results of Student Voice surveys. Encourage the audience to focus on the questioning the principal ask as survey results are reviewed. Listen to the students- what are their thoughts about doing teacher surveys??

12. Group Assignment Pink Card: S Blue Card: T Yellow Card: U
Purple Card: D
Red Card: E
Green Card: N
White Card: T
Participants will work in their assigned letter group and match the FfT components to the assigned construct. Will identify on posters their matches. Posters will stay up if others want to review the work after the session. No time for gallery walk during presentation.
