Sommario/riassunto

Definitive research for meaningful teacher evaluations. All across America, in urban, suburban, and rural schools, teacher evaluation procedures are much-debated. Evaluation processes for teachers have varied over the years, and the usefulness of those processes to improve and assess the quality of a teacher''s instruction has been questionable and often non-existent. Designing Teacher Evaluation Systems: New Guidance from the Measures of Effective Teaching Project provides you with original research from an extensive study that will help you rethink and redesign teacher evaluation procedures.
