Abstract
This is a study of the effectiveness of public posting, formative assessment, and
databased decision making implemented in a school wide effort to improve student
performance in the areas of academics and social behavior. The study is a journal ready
dissertation composed of three works. The dissertation consists of a literature review
examining research/theory related to formative assessment, public posting, and data
based decision making. A quantitative study to assess the impact of the formative
assessment and public posting procedure on social behavior of elementary school
children was conducted. Finally, a quantitative study designed to provide students with
feedback through public posting performance data regarding academics performance, was
conducted to determine if formative assessment can be used effectively in a school wide
setting.
