WHAT WE DO
The system behind feedback that actually changes teaching.
Tepper & Flynn builds observation, analysis, and feedback capacity in K-12 leaders — through a named methodology, embedded coaching, and tools that work in real classrooms.
THE FEED FORWARD SYSTEM™
A named methodology.
Not a collection of workshops.
Most districts have observation systems. What they’re missing is a shared professional framework — a common language for what leaders see, how they analyze it, and what they say to teachers.
Improved student learning doesn’t come from one initiative working in isolation. It comes from three interconnected systems — each one reinforcing the others, sustained over time through embedded coaching and job-embedded practice. This is what we build with districts. Not a training day. A system.
A system for improving teacher observation and feedback through aligned professional learning, collaborative team structures (PLCs), and school culture.
THE FEED FORWARD COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK™
Does this sound like
your district?
After working in 120+ districts across 10 states, we’ve mapped the barriers that prevent observation and feedback from improving teaching. They cluster into three competency areas — and most districts are struggling in more than one.
Our Eight Standards of Observation & Feedback™ define the competencies K-12 leaders need to observe accurately, analyze rigorously, and deliver feedback that changes practice.
These are the backbone of the Feed Forward Competency Framework™ — and the measurable baseline every district engagement is built on.
Common challenges in instructional leadership include inconsistent feedback, unclear observation evidence, and limited impact on teaching practice.
Instructional leadership professional learning focused on improving teacher observation, feedback accuracy, and instructional impact across K–12 schools.
A competency-based framework for instructional leaders focused on observation evidence, feedback quality, and coaching practices that improve instruction.
Not sure where your district’s highest-leverage entry point is? That’s exactly what a discovery call is for — we audit where you are and identify where the Feed Forward Competency Framework applies first.
WHO IT’S FOR
Three entry points.
One coherent system.
Whether the problem is supervisor accuracy and capacity, district coherence, or instructional coaching impact — the Feed Forward Competency Framework™ has a named entry point for where you are right now.
Not an event. A system that feeds forward.
Let’s find your district’s highest leverage entry point.
A 30-minute discovery call is where every engagement starts. We audit where you are, identify the gaps, and make recommendations for exactly where to begin.
