For the first time, school districts around the country are being
required to adopt formal accountability measures to assess teacher
effectiveness. In a radical shift, teacher quality will be based on
outputs (student achievement; teacher observations) rather than
inputs (years of service; degrees attained). This change in school
culture and practice is an attempt to improve everything from
individual student learning to national economic competitiveness.
It also requires that administrators implement new and rigorous
teacher evaluation programs that align with state and federal
guidelines. Busy administrators lack the training and experience
necessary to quickly and efficiently craft a teacher evaluation
system that successfully meets the needs of their district.
Questions like "What is the best program for my district?" or "How
do I get the teachers on-board?" are being asked by school leaders
across the country. This book provides real-world answers by
highlighting 10 diverse model programs from around the country.
