A Practical Guide to Evaluating Teacher Effectiveness
2009
This guide offers a definition of teacher effectiveness that states and districts may adapt to meet local requirements. In addition, the guide provides an overview of the many purposes for evaluating teacher effectiveness and indicates which measures are most suitable to use under different circumstances. The guide also includes summaries of various measures, such as value-added models, classroom observations, analysis of classroom artifacts (e.g., lesson plans and student work) and portfolios. The summaries include descriptions of the measures, along with a note about the research base and strengths and cautions to consider for each measure. The guide is based on the TQ Center research synthesis Approaches to Evaluating Teacher Effectiveness: A Research Synthesis by Goe, Bell, and Little (2008).
