I was asked in a comment to my last post on formative feedback, How are we going to motivate teachers to do the extra work required to give such feedback? The answer is to show how learning increases if formative feedback is a regular part of the educational process. Change often is incremental. While institutions won’t simply give credit for such feedback, grass roots changes are possible. Why not have a formative feedback day, where across America, law teachers everywhere can incorporate some form of formative feedback (even a single multiple choice question) in their classes? How about March 4th? We have to start somewhere.
