360 Feedback Questions for Teachers

16 ready-to-use questions, example comments and tips — plus a free tool that runs the survey and writes the AI report for you.

Classroom observations show a teacher at one moment. A 360 adds the views of the people who work with them all year: fellow teachers, department heads, support staff and school leaders. Use these questions for a development-focused review, or adapt a short version for students or parents.

Tips for a useful 360

  • Run the 360 early in the school year so there is time to act on it.
  • Use separate, shorter question sets if you include students or parents.
  • Keep it development-focused and separate from formal performance evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

Who should give 360 feedback to a teacher?

Fellow teachers, the head of department, a school leader and support staff who work with them. Some schools add a short student survey for older classes.

Can students give 360 feedback to teachers?

Yes, for older students, with a short, simple question set focused on what they experience in class. Keep it anonymous and combine it with colleague feedback.
