Formative Feedback Systems and the New Instructional Leadership
Overview Formative feedback systems are systems of structures, people, and practices that help teachers and administrators translate testing data into practical information for everyday use. Formative feedback systems live at the heart of systemic school improvement efforts. Without accurate and timely information on the results of intended interventions, school leaders and teachers fly blind in their efforts to link what they expect to what actually happens in their schools. This paper argues that school capacity to use data consists largely of the ability to generate and make good use of information on the core processes of teaching and learning. The paper uses the concept of formative feedback systems to describe the socio-technical processes that leaders and teachers coordinate to develop this capacity.
