Book Synopsis Teacher Evaluation in Practice by : Susan E. Sporte
Download or read book Teacher Evaluation in Practice written by Susan E. Sporte and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report finds that the overwhelming majority of teachers and principals in Chicago Public Schools (CPS) believe the overhaul of the district's teacher evaluation system has promoted teacher growth and instructional improvement; however, teachers also voiced concerns about some elements of the evaluation system, particularly the use of student test scores as a factor in teacher ratings. "Challenges clearly remain for CPS, which must improve communication and training around teacher evaluation and also grapple with teacher's concerns around the fairness of their ratings," said Sue Sporte, the lead author of the report. "Nevertheless, it is promising that teachers and administrators believe the system has the potential to improve instruction, particularly considering that the 2012-13 school year began with the first teacher strike in CPS in over 25 years, and teacher evaluation was a major point of contention." The report is part of a joint study by UChicago CCSR in collaboration with CPS and the Chicago Teachers Union of REACH (Recognizing Educators Advancing CHicago) Students - CPS's teacher evaluation system implemented during the 2012-2013 school year. Chicago, the largest district in the nation to put in place a rigorous new system for measuring teacher effectiveness, has become a national test case for revamping teacher evaluation. More than 40 states, including Illinois, have passed legislation in the last few years mandating the evaluation of teachers based on a combination of student performance and the close examination of teacher practice. States and districts have adopted these new systems in response to a number of factors, including a growing body of research on the importance of teacher quality and incentives from the U.S. Department of Education. This report, the first in a series of reports about REACH, uses survey data and interviews to focus on the perceptions and experiences of teachers and administrators during the first year of REACH implementation. These experiences can be helpful to CPS and to other districts across the country as they work to restructure and transform teacher evaluation. The study of REACH was generously funded by the Joyce Foundation, which supports the development of policies that both improve the quality of life for people in the Great Lakes region and serve as models for the rest of the country.

Book Synopsis Designing and Implementing the Next Generation of Teacher Evaluation Systems by : Bradford R. White
Download or read book Designing and Implementing the Next Generation of Teacher Evaluation Systems written by Bradford R. White and published by Consortium on Chicago School Research. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a very short period during the spring and summer of 2012, researchers at the University of Chicago Consortium on Chicago School Research (ccsr) and the Illinois Education Research Council (ierc) collected data from respondents in five districts across Illinois to examine how school districts in the state approach designing and implementing new teacher evaluation systems. Drawing on research in these districts, which are located in north, central, and southern Illinois, this report describes the challenges experienced across the districts. In addition, the authors present strategies the districts used to address these challenges as they occurred and their reflections on lessons learned: (1) Cultivating Buy-In and Understanding; (2) Using Evaluations for Instructional Improvement; (3) Reducing the Burden on Principals; and (4) Incorporating Student Growth into Teacher Evaluation Systems. For all that has been accomplished by these case study districts, teacher evaluation, in all cases, remains a work in progress. Many in their interview sample described ongoing issues and some complicated problems. The report synthesizes these issues and raises some key questions for districts to consider around three common themes: teacher and principal support, communication, and buy-in; ensuring that ratings are accurate and consistent; and developing high-quality student assessments. Appended are: (1) Matrix of Teacher Evaluation Program Characteristics; and (2) Methodological Notes and Protocols. (Contains 2 tables and 3 endnotes.)

Book Synopsis Rethinking Teacher Evaluation in Chicago by : Lauren Sartain
Download or read book Rethinking Teacher Evaluation in Chicago written by Lauren Sartain and published by Consortium on Chicago School Research. This book was released on 2011-11-18 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher evaluation is arguably the hottest issue in education right now. Because of Race to the Top, many states and districts around the country are designing and implementing new teacher evaluation systems that--for the first time ever--evaluate teachers based on how much their students learn. However, there is limited research on how to build an evaluation system centered on classroom observations that can distinguish between effective and ineffective teaching. This report from the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research focuses on Chicago, but the lessons learned have significant applicability to districts across the country. The report is one of the first to provide research-based evidence showing that new teacher observation tools, when accompanied by thoughtful evaluation systems and professional development, can effectively measure teacher effectiveness and provide teachers with feedback on the factors that matter for improving student learning. This is especially relevant for those districts that are implementing the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching, including Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, South Dakota, Washington, Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh.
