Internationally there is an increasing trend to publish and feed
back information to schools and teachers on their functioning.
School improvement is often the central goal, though accountability
and the promotion of parental/student school choice also play an
important role.Practical initiatives and research in this field
have often failed to recognize the full complexity of improving
schools through school performance feedback. Relevant questions
are, for example, to what extent: the information fed back to
schools is valued and understood by them; the school performance
feedback enables appropriate diagnosis and remediation to take
place in schools; the use of the feedback generates conflicts and
tensions for teachers and administrators; the features of the
implementation process and school organization influence the
utilization of school performance feedback systems; schools do
actually improve as a result of performance feedback; and the
feedback systems have unintended effects.
This book fills the gap by including: a thorough conceptualization
of school feedback as a performance enhancing mechanism, and the
prerequisites for utilizing this information in schools; a typology
of school performance indicators; a review of the research on the
impact of feeding back performance information to individuals and
to organizations; evidence on the process, problems and impact of
school performance feedback from an international variety of
contexts (Australia, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, USA); and
reflections on these experiences within the theoretical framework,
leading to recommended strategies for school improvement through
performance feedback.
