At a glance

  • Who uses it: Teachers attached to an active case.
  • When to use it: When a facilitator asks for feedback, or proactively after meaningful classroom changes.
  • Permissions required: Teacher attached to the student's case.
  • Navigation path: Teacher Portal → My students → open a student → Provide feedback (or the inline prompt on the case).

Purpose

Teacher feedback is a structured, lightweight signal from the classroom back to the case. It tells the facilitator whether the intervention plan is working — without requiring the teacher to write a long note.

What you submit

Each feedback entry has:

  • A direction — Improving / No change / Worsening.
  • An optional comment (free text, up to ~500 characters).

That's it. Submitting takes about 30 seconds and shows up immediately in the case timeline.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the student from your portal.
  2. If there's an active case, you'll see a Provide feedback prompt.
  3. Pick a direction.
  4. Optionally add a one-line comment ("Volunteered an answer Tuesday — first time in weeks").
  5. Submit. The facilitator is notified.

What happens with your feedback

  • The facilitator sees it on the case Overview and in the case timeline.
  • A streak of "Worsening" feedback can trigger an attention flag.
  • Feedback is included as a signal in case summaries and trend reports.

What feedback is not

  • Not a case note. You are not writing the official record.
  • Not parent-visible. Parents do not see teacher feedback.
  • Not anonymous. Your name and timestamp are attached.

Tips & best practices

  • Submit when something meaningful changes, even if briefly. Frequent small signals beat occasional long essays.
  • Use the comment to add classroom context: "Quiz score 72% (was 45%)" or "Late to 2 of 5 days this week."

FAQ

Can I edit feedback after submitting? You can submit additional feedback to update direction. Past entries remain in the timeline for context.

Will the facilitator email me back? Often, yes — via case messaging or a teacher-visible note. Either way, you'll see a notification in your portal.
