To better understand and ultimately improve the efficacy of feedback conversations among teacher candidates, mentor teachers, and university supervisors, we conducted empathy interviews, developed process maps, and implemented surveys. These data were then used to inform iterative adjustments to feedback conversations throughout the course of an academic year. Specifically, the researchers continuously revised the Danielson Observation Protocol to ensure the reflective conversations that occurred between teacher candidates and their mentor teachers and/ or university supervisors led to deliberate changes in teaching practice. The methodological approach embodies the concepts of improvement science and reflects the use of rapid, iterative cycles of testing, ...
