A practical leadership guide for OSHC Directors, Coordinators and Educational Leaders.
Giving feedback is one of the most important parts of leadership, but it's also one of the most challenging.
 
Many leaders avoid constructive conversations because they don't want to hurt someone's feelings, create conflict or damage relationships. The result? Small concerns become bigger problems, expectations become unclear and valuable opportunities for professional growth are missed.
 
Feedback that builds great educators has been created specifically for the OSHC sector to help leaders approach feedback with confidence, kindness and purpose.
 
Written in the friendly, practical style you've come to expect from All Things OSHC, this resource focuses on coaching rather than criticising. It provides simple, realistic strategies that help leaders build trust, encourage reflective practice and create a culture of continuous improvement within their team.
 
Inside you'll find:
A step-by-step guide to giving constructive feedback with confidence
Practical strategies to reduce defensiveness and encourage open conversations
Ready-to-use conversation scripts and sentence starters
Guidance for handling emotional or challenging responses professionally
Tips for delivering feedback that motivates rather than discourages
Reflection prompts for both leaders and educators
A printable Coaching conversation record to document observations, goals, agreed actions and follow-up support
Grounded in the principles of MTOP, the National Quality Framework and reflective leadership, this resource supports leaders to strengthen professional relationships, build educator confidence and foster a culture where feedback is viewed as an opportunity for growth rather than something to fear.
 
Whether you're leading your first team or mentoring experienced educators, Feedback that builds great educators will become a resource you'll return to time and time again.
Because the best leaders don't simply manage people...
They coach them, encourage them and help them become the best educators they can be.
