In this essential new book, best-selling author and researcher
Robert J. Marzano and teacher-effectiveness expert Michael D. Toth
lay out a framework for the ""next generation"" of teacher
evaluation: a model focused primarily on helping educators develop
and improve their practice. By taking into account multiple
accurate, data-rich measures of teacher performance and student
growth, the model ensures that all teachers receive fair,
meaningful, and reliable evaluations. The book includes: Standards,
rubrics, and suggested rating methodologies. A detailed, five-phase
plan for implementing the model. Guidelines for calibrating
evaluation criteria according to teachers' experience levels. A
step-by-step guide to creating a coaching program for teachers who
require intervention. Recommendations for using technology
platforms to enable teacher collaboration. Teacher evaluation has
too often focused on affixing ratings to teachers rather than
helping them grow into mastery. The practical, field-tested model
proposed in Teacher Evaluation That Makes a Difference has
everything your school or district needs to provide teachers-and,
by extension, their students-with the support necessary for
success.
Transform evaluation into a model that improves school leaders'
performance, aligns their vision, mission, and goals, and ensures
fair principal evaluations.
In many classrooms, the teacher's role is to talk and the student's
role is to listen. Whose brain is doing most of the work in this
scenario? Authors Michael D. Toth and David A. Sousa present an
alternative: a new pedagogical model called student-led academic
teaming. In academic teams, students collaborate, peer coach, and
peer teach while engaging in rigorous, standards-based tasks-a
combination that leads to true social, emotional, and cognitive
learning (SECL). The simple truth is student-led academic teaming
elevates core instruction to a level of rigor far beyond that of
traditional classrooms and familiar grouping strategies. This book
includes a groundbreaking 10,000-student research study on a large
urban district where teaming raised achievement across the board,
and narrowed achievement gaps for African-American students,
English Language Learners, and students with special needs. Toth
and Sousa describe here a path to predictable success for every
student, in every classroom, in every school-all backed by student
data, neuroscience research, and experiences from superintendents,
school leaders, teachers, and students who have made the shift.
Teach for the 21st?century through the power of student teams. This
is the last major school reform you will ever have to make.
As a supplement to the Essentials for Achieving Rigor series, this
guide gives teachers a big-picture view of the Essentials model and
its research-based strategies. Its valuable tips and guidance
empower educators and leaders to increase classroom rigor and
transform their schools into thriving, sustainable communities of
practice.
