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.
