The Power of a Pat on the Back

I have facilitated a great positive feedback activity a few times now.  It is called a Pat on the Back.

I give the group of teachers or leaders that I am coaching  two or three post it notes.

They write positive feedback on the note and pat it on the back of a colleague.

We then read and reflect on the feedback.

The rules mean you need to make sure everyone receives at least two or three pats on the back.

These are my recent Pats on the Back from this activity.  This feedback was fabulous to receive and everyone needs this specific, personal and positive feedback.
