What is the SBI Framework?

S — SITUATION: Anchor the feedback in a specific time and context.

B — BEHAVIOR: Describe observable teacher actions without judgment.

I — IMPACT: Explain the observable effect on students or learning.

F — MOVING FORWARD: Collaboratively plan actionable next steps for growth.

Sample SBI Statement:

S — During today’s Grade 6 English lesson, when students were working on their persuasive essay introductions…

B — …you circulated to four groups and provided one specific piece of feedback about each student’s hook technique.

I — As a result, three students in each group revised their opening sentences, and hook quality improved noticeably.

F — How might you extend this wait-time strategy to your writing conferences?
