Academic achievement is the greatest predictor of success in life. And parents, particularly those of younger students are increasingly wanting more information to help their child succeed—academically as well as with general life skills.
The problem in terms of getting more information in the hands of parents is that teachers are hamstrung because the tools at their disposal are insufficient. As a former teacher who’s spent 15 years in the classroom, I can attest that one of the more time-consuming tasks a teacher faces every year is providing narrative feedback. And surveying over 600
K-12 teachers throughout the United States and Canada, two-thirds reported spending excessive hours and getting mentally fatigued when providing narrative feedback.
K-12 online enrollment has exploded in the past few years, particularly after many students were introduced to remote education during the Covid crisis. In our survey, over 60% of teachers reported that creating formative feedback was much more difficult during the COVID era compared to traditional, face-to-face instruction. Since feedback is crucial to bridging teaching and learning, it raises the question: Do online teachers need better tools and resources to match the feedback quality offered in physical classrooms?
