Description
When teacher evaluations are fair, everyone wins.
Poor evaluation systems don?t just hurt teachers?they hurt students, too. That?s why America can?t afford to wait for the teacher-evaluation problem to be solved. To provide balanced, accurate, and rigorous evaluations that take into account each teacher?s particular circumstances, only one system can work: evidence-governed collegial judgment.
As states and schools scramble to find workable responses to accountability mandates, well-informed educators can make key contributions. Start here with
A discussion of common evaluation systems, including testing, value-added models, and observations
Analysis of federal guidelines and state responses
Action steps teachers and school leaders can take to influence policy
A clear rationale and strategies for implementing a teacher evaluation model based on human judgment
Evaluating America?s Teachers demonstrates that the vision is possible: effective teacher evaluations that benefit schools as a whole.
