Feed Up, Back, Forward

Feed Up, Back, Forward

Feedback, a complex and powerful resource for teachers, is characterized by three distinct components, say authors Fisher and Frey:

  • Feed Up, or establishing clear purpose and learning goals
  • Feedback, or ongoing response to student work
  • Feed Forward, or using feedback to plan and modify future instruction

Checking for understanding, using common assessments, identifying and assessing specific course competencies, and meaningful practice toward state exams sets the stage for aligned multiple measures that allow for feeding up, back, and forward.

Not knowing what to do with assessment data can make this resource seem out of reach. How does your school make student data both meaningful and useful?
