Book excerpt: This dissertation addresses an important missing component in many teacher evaluation systems at the high school level: student feedback. The literature indicates that current teacher evaluation methods are seriously flawed. This system is dependent upon typically untrained evaluators who are lacking time, expertise, and available resources necessary to accomplish the task. In addition, most current teacher evaluations serve only a summative function and have little effect or actual impact on teacher improvement. Many researchers recommend use of such sources and methods that can give more adequate feedback of teaching performance that will lead to instructional improvement. Student evaluations of teaching are by no means the only solution for the current evaluation systems. They are, however, one possible and strong alternative source of information that will provide teachers unique feedback regarding instruction. -- The writer riter developed a new Student Feedback Survey (SFS) and administered it to almost 600 students at a large Christian High School. Thirty teachers were chosen randomly for the study which was conducted in two main parts: a presurvey followed by discussion with each teacher regarding their student's feedback, perceived areas for improvement, and strategies to assist them in their performance. A postsurvey was given 3 months later to allow for a comparison of results which demonstrated whether areas deemed to have been rated the lowest on their presurvey were, in fact, perceived to have been improved upon in the eyes of their students. In addition, teachers were given a separate, anonymous survey that gauged their impressions regarding the usefulness of student feedback, the effect-if any-it had on their teaching, and how they viewed the process as a whole. -- An analysis of the data revealed overwhelming acceptance of student feedback, its legitimacy and its benefits instructionally on the part of the teachers involved. The majority of teachers also revealed that they have modified lesson plans, and altered their instructional strategies as a result of the feedback from their students in an effort to enhance instructional delivery as well as to increase student learning. This was further supported by a comparison of pre and postsurvey results from the Student Feedback Survey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to pull together what we have learned about the impacts and challenges of data-intensive teacher evaluation systemsa defining characteristic of the current education policy landscape. Expert researchers and practitioners speak to what we know (and what remains to be known) about evaluation measures themselves, the implementation of evaluation systems, and the use of evaluation data. The authors argue that rigorous teacher evaluation systems have the potential to promote school improvement but only if the systems are carefully designed and implemented and the data they generate are interpreted and used appropriately. This timely and important volume will be relevant and useful to school and district administrators, policymakers, researchers, and teacher education institutions grappling with issues of teacher accountability and school leadership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher evaluation systems are being overhauled by states and districts across the United States. And, while intentions are admirable, the result for many new systems is that goodoften excellentteachers are lost in the process. In the end, students are the losers. In her new book, Linda Darling-Hammond makes a compelling case for a research-based approach to teacher evaluation that supports collaborative models of teacher planning and learning. She outlines the most current research informing evaluation of teaching practice that incorporates evidence of what teachers do and what their students learn. In addition, she examines the harmful consequences of using any single student test as a basis for evaluating individual teachers. Finally, Darling-Hammond offers a vision of teacher evaluation as part of a teaching and learning system that supports continuous improvement, both for individual teachers and for the profession as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The framework for teaching is a research-based set of components of instruction that are grounded in a constructivist view of learning and teaching. The framework may be used for many purposes, but its full value is realized as the foundation for professional conversations among practitioners as they seek to enhance their skill in the complex task of teaching. The framework may be used as the foundation of a school's or district's recruitment and hiring, mentoring, coaching, professional development, and teacher evaluation processes, thus linking all those activities together and helping teachers become more thoughtful practitioners. The actions teachers can take to improve student learning are clearly identified and fall under four domains of teaching responsibility: Planning and Preparation, the School Environment, Instruction, and Professional Responsibilities. Within the domains are 22 components and 76 descriptive elements that further refine our understanding of what teaching is all about. The framework defines four levels of performance (Unsatisfactory, Basic, Proficient, and Distinguished) for each element, providing a valuable tool that all teachers can use. This second edition has been revised and updated and also includes frameworks for school specialists, such as school nurses, counselors, library and media specialists, and instructional coaches. Comprehensive, clear, and applicable to teaching across the K-12 spectrum, the framework for teaching described in this book is based on the PRAXIS III: Classroom Performance Assessment criteria developed by Educational Testing Service and is compatible with INTASC standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluating Teachers of Music Performance Groups provides a practical approach to evaluating teachers of music performance groups that can be used by supervisors, educators, and students. An effective evaluation system must define the teaching task and provide supervisors with the knowledge and skills to use the system. Part One of the book presents the basic documents for defining the teaching task. These include an evaluation calendar, an effective teacher profile, and five sample job descriptions. Part Two provides a review of the evaluation process with an emphasis on analyzing and evaluating music instruction. Included are sample forms for the different steps of the process, and a discussion of topics such as clinical supervision, setting goals and objectives, recording information during observations, the diagnostic/prescriptive process, and plans for assistance. The forms provided can be enlarged and copied for use by the purchaser. Those with supervisory responsibilities--both experienced and inexperienced--will find practical ideas and useful procedures readily adaptable to their professional needs. The materials presented may also serve as a resource for college subjects such as administration and supervision of school music and for courses in which undergraduates visit public school music classrooms to observe and analyze instruction.

Book excerpt: The goal of this mixed method sequential study was to investigate the extent of the shared understanding between teachers and administrators in one suburban New Jersey high school of the behaviors and qualities of teachers rated as highly effective under the six standards of the Stronge Teacher Effectiveness Performance Evaluation System. This study also explored whether a relationship existed between effectiveness ratings for Teacher Practice and Student Growth scores. After briefly summarizing the history of teacher supervision, the literature review examined the four major New Jersey teacher evaluation systems and the use of value-added models in determining teacher effectiveness. In the quantitative correlational phase of this study, teachers and administrators completed a web-based survey rating the effectiveness of teachers in written scenarios and a classroom observation video against the six Stronge performance standards. Teacher Practice and Student Growth scores were also extracted from the district's evaluation database. In the qualitative phase, a purposeful sample of teachers and administrators were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire concerning their perceptions of the behaviors and practices of highly effective teachers. Triangulation was established through the integration of the results from the thematic analysis of the coded interview transcripts and the statistical analysis of the survey and the teacher evaluation score data. This study provided an opportunity for teachers and administrators to observe and rate the effectiveness of the same teacher using the same evaluation framework. Differences were found between teachers and administrators in their perceptions of the practices of effective teachers. The most significant disparities among teachers and administrators themselves were evident in the standards for Assessment of/for Learning and Professionalism. Analysis of the evaluation database scores suggested a minimal relationship existed between Teacher Practice and Student Growth. Recommendations were presented for teachers, administrators, researchers and other policy makers regarding the use of value-added student growth measures to determine teacher effectiveness. Suggestions were made for developing a shared understanding of the qualities of "highly effective" teachers. Proposals for further research were offered to replicate and expand the findings of this study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even on good days, teaching is a challenging profession. One way to make the job of college instructors easier, however, is to know more about the ways students learn. How Humans Learn aims to do just that by peering behind the curtain and surveying research in fields as diverse as developmental psychology, anthropology, and cognitive neuroscience for insight into the science behind learning. The result is a story that ranges from investigations of the evolutionary record to studies of infants discovering the world for the first time, and from a look into how our brains respond to fear to a reckoning with the importance of gestures and language. Joshua R. Eyler identifies five broad themes running through recent scientific inquiry--curiosity, sociality, emotion, authenticity, and failure--devoting a chapter to each and providing practical takeaways for busy teachers. He also interviews and observes college instructors across the country, placing theoretical insight in dialogue with classroom experience.
