While this book focuses on evaluation of teachers, it is actually a book about fostering professional growth and improvement. In our writings, we provide support for teacher evaluation as a growth exercise, and show how creating a feedback rich culture in a school nurtures this process. The underlying theme is that evaluation data be utilized to drive professional development and growth, leading to reduction of teacher attrition and improved learning for students. At the heart of this feedback rich culture is the observation and evaluation process. For evaluation to be an exercise in professional growth, data must be collected and reviewed with the teacher so the administrator can provide support with transparency. This culture also places an urgency on the teacher evaluation process that has been historically absent. We include practical tips for creating this culture and maximizing opportunities for feedback, and examine traditional methods of evaluation and why these fell short in giving meaningful feedback to teachers. We will share innovative trends in teacher evaluation, and how these can be utilized to drive teacher growth, ultimately leading to improved student achievement. As our nation faces a teacher shortage and increasing teacher attrition rate, it is more vital than ever to retain and develop those currently practicing in the classroom. We highlight a research study by the author of teachers who have been evaluated consistently over a three-year period. This is more than a how to book, with a list of how to best implement the teacher evaluation process in your school. Instead, it is a how book, with best practices from experienced administrators and research from experts in the field such as Charlotte Danielson, Harvey Silver, and Robert Marzano, to guide educators to make informed decisions about implementing and improving their evaluation processes to meet their district's needs.

This book takes a new approach to teacher evaluation by building on and encouraging new best practices in education - constructivist teaching, emotional intelligence and brain research, improved professional development practices, reflective practice, collaborative teacher-administrator relationships. It develops a new evaluation model established by the author - the Growth-Focused Evaluation system - and provides the requisite forms and reproducibles necessary to adopt or adapt the system. Chapters one through six examine the nature of evaluation as a vehicle not only to provide accountability but also to improve success of schools and students; they examine the complexity of the teacher's job and the role of the principal as motivator and leader; and they look at the many factors that contribute to the need for alternative evaluations, and examine various approaches such as reflective practice, self-assessment, portfolios, peer coaching and evaluation. The book then moves into the Growth-Focused Evaluation system, which promotes teacher reflection and examination of practice. Included are processes for working with experienced, beginning, transferring, and marginal teachers.Samples of how to report teacher growth and evaluation are included, as well as ways for teachers to record their own professional growth and activity.An appendix of forms at the end of the book provides masters that can be reproduced as principals develop their own plan, or implement the plan described.

Most evaluations of teacher performance are brief, superficial, pro forma affairs involving a few moments of classroom observation every year or two followed by the completion of required evaluation forms. Not surprisingly, much of what has been written about teacher evaluation over the past decade reflects the dissatisfaction of teachers, the frustration of administrators, and the confusion of all parties as to the proper purposes for and methods of teacher evaluation. In this long-awaited book, Richard J. Stiggins and Daniel L. Duke approach teacher evaluation from a positive perspective. They present the results of three unique studies from over a three-year period, designed to uncover the inherent problems in current evaluation practices and find potential solutions to those problems. Relying on ethnographic case study methodology, Study One focuses on the procedures and concerns in the teacher evaluation systems of four school districts, uncovering barriers to teacher growth. Study Two also relies on case study methodology to highlight the keys to success for a few teachers who experienced significant professional growth as a result of a good-quality evaluation event. Study Three uses an instrument—the Teacher Evaluation Profile—to explore and analyze the evaluation experiences of over 400 teachers. The result is a book that gives a clear insight into the important attributes of positive growth-producing evaluation events. Implications of these studies for future teacher evaluation programs in terms of research, policy, and practice are also included in this valuable resource book. The topic is very timely. The significance if this work is that the effort begins linking staff development participation to teacher evaluation.

In too many districts, evaluation of teachers ensures competence but does little or nothing to encourage and support expertise. In this thought-provoking and groundbreaking book, Tony Frontier and Paul Mielke address this issue head-on, combining the conceptual and the practical by offering a compelling vision of teacher growth, along with nearly three dozen step-by-step protocols for working with teachers. They present a powerful rationale for reconceptualizing teacher evaluation by creating a balanced system of three equally important components: * Reliable and valid evaluation. * Empowering and focused supervision. * Meaningful and purposeful reflection. Each component is discussed in terms of its purpose, premise, processes, practices, and payoffs. Revealing examples based on the authors’ experiences in classrooms across the country show what evaluation, supervision, and reflection look like when they’re not done well--and what they could look like if done more effectively. Providing insight and inspiration, Making Teachers Better, Not Bitter paves a clear path to better teaching and helps you acknowledge and support the hard work that teachers do every day to make learning come alive for their students.

Meaningful teacher evaluation starts with visible student growth Annual standardized test scores cannot provide evidence of student growth needed to evaluate teacher performance. But consider student growth in the form of evidence derived from classroom assessment and you’re on to something. For assessment expert Rick Stiggins, this can form the basis for a truly productive teacher evaluation strategy. This revolutionary book helps you bring classroom assessment to bear for real school improvement, with A plan for teacher evaluation based, in part, on dependable evidence of student growth Strategies for improving the assessment literacy of teachers and school leaders Five steps for developing and implementing productive local district assessment systems Practical tools that teachers and their evaluators can put to use immediately In this era of aggressive teacher evaluation reform, where teachers are charged with preparing ALL students to master 21st century proficiencies, the measurement of teacher success must start where learning happens—in the classroom. "Developing a fair, practical, and effective teacher evaluation system is like climbing a high mountain: it’s impossible until someone finds a route. That’s what Rick does in this book. He identifies the immense challenges associated with using evidence on student learning as the principal criteria in teacher evaluation and then offers practical guidance for overcoming those challenges. He hasn’t made the climb easy, but he shows us the way." —Thomas R. Guskey, Professor of Educational Psychology University of Kentucky "Rick Stiggins builds a compelling case for the development of a solid foundation of assessment competence throughout our educational system." —Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E.

The purpose of the project was to address changes in a teacher evaluation system that has persisted as the grammar of schooling regarding evaluation for over a century (Cuban, 2013).The participatory action research (PAR) project in a South Asian international school helped a team of the principal and co-practitioners researchers (CPR=6) to implement and co-create an inquiry-based teacher evaluation process that supports teachers in improving their teaching practices and enhancing student engagement. They worked in a professional learning community that focused on peer observations, mutual feedback, and experiential learning that supported their growth as teachers. As a result, we co-designed a teacher growth and development support model for middle school teacher supervision and evaluation. Findings from three cycles of inquiry demonstrated that CPR team members and teachers' perceptions and reflections about the evaluation system altered as they viewed teacher evaluation as ongoing support, time for reflection, and continuous professional development; they reported that the current practices for classroom observations were "tailor-made" to their individual needs as teachers. The TGDS, which now serves as the formal evaluation process at the middle school, is based on collecting formative evidence on teacher goals that provides teachers with regular, consistent, and feedback. As a result, their teaching practices and level of student engagement changed over the course of three inquiry cycles. The leadership style of the principal shifted to a more distributed leadership approach (Spillane et al., 2001) based on a moral authority (Sergiovanni & Starratt, 2006). Middle school teachers who are no longer anxious during classroom observations have demonstrated a re-informed sense of their roles as teachers in building a community that includes taking actions with students, themselves, and other teachers regarding the teacher evaluation system. While school districts may have designed the instrumentation for evaluation, the principal could use the processes of the CPR group and cycles of inquiry to better differentiate support for teachers.
