Teacher feedback
Last updated 2026-06-08
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
- Open the student from your portal.
- If there's an active case, you'll see a Provide feedback prompt.
- Pick a direction.
- Optionally add a one-line comment ("Volunteered an answer Tuesday — first time in weeks").
- Submit. The facilitator is notified.
[SCREENSHOT: teacher-feedback-form] Teacher Portal → student detail with the Provide feedback panel open and Improving selected.
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.
