WHY SBI WORKS

The SBI framework is grounded in evidence-based feedback research. By structuring every conversation around observable behaviors and measurable student impact — rather than subjective judgments — coaches create dialogue that feels collaborative instead of evaluative. The result: teachers feel heard, growth goals stay specific, and feedback translates into classroom change.

This toolkit gives you everything you need to make that framework actionable on day one.
