Case Study: Atlanta Public Schools improves PD feedback and teacher engagement with Swivl's MirrorTalk

Atlanta Public Schools boosts PD feedback participation with Swivl's MirrorTalk in 15-second reflections

Atlanta Public Schools faced a challenge with their professional development (PD) programs, as traditional feedback methods like surveys yielded only superficial responses from teachers. This provided instructional coaches Keisha Tyson Johnson and Amarius Reed with little actionable data to measure the impact of their sessions or to guide improvements.

The vendor Swivl addressed this with its MirrorTalk solution, a tool for real-time verbal reflections. This implementation led to a dramatic increase in feedback participation and provided deeper, more meaningful insights from teachers. The results included more targeted PD follow-up sessions and enhanced coaching support, fostering a district-wide cultural shift towards continuous improvement.
