Title: "Professional Learning Leaders’ Perspectives on How Automated and Personalized Feedback Reports Can Support Teacher Learning"
Authors: Heather Jorgenson, Jamie Mikeska, and Dante Cisterna
This study explored professional learning leaders’ (PLLs’) perspectives on the clarity and usefulness of automated, personalized feedback reports through a semi-structured interview and survey. These reports were designed to provide detailed insights into teachers’ performance while facilitating argumentation-focused discussions with student avatars in a simulated classroom environment. Findings revealed that PLLs demonstrated a strong overall understanding of the reports and identified them as especially valuable for guiding teachers’ future instruction and tailoring support to individual learning needs.
