This is the first I've heard of 'teacher feedback literacy', though student feedback literacy has been around since 2010 or so; you can read about the developement of a teacher feedback literacy competency framework here defining "what is needed by teachers to implement feedback well". This paper uses the framework to assess automated feedback tools. It's interesting, because as the authors say, "he online learning literature reflects predominant conceptualisations of feedback as something performed on students rather than a process in which their agency is exercised," however, automated feedback shifts the agency from teachers to students, so you can't simply assess them in the same way. What the teacher does, then, is adapt the tool to the needs of the learner, using what the authors call 'open' tools, as opposed to 'closed' tools, that are simply another form of information provision. Four such tools are evaluated, and they "identified 14 of the 19 teacher feedback competencies being demonstrated by instructors as they used the tool."
