Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This policy analysis is designed to increase the understanding of Missouri's Performance Based Teacher Evaluation Pilot (PBTE). This policy analysis intended to identify the original intent of the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education with regard to the Missouri PBTE system. The purpose of the study was to explain the development of PBTE and hear the perceptions of elected officials, leaders in state-level governance, and leaders of public schools with respect to the impact the PBTE will have on public education in Missouri. While much research exists on best practice strategies for teacher evaluation, there is a deficit of knowledge regarding how and why Missouri developed their PBTE. The theoretical framework used to conduct this qualitative case study was policy theory. Policy theory is a means to understand the complex web of interactions and processes involved in developing policy (Fowler, 2008). The concepts, which served as the foundation for the study, were policy analysis, human resource management, commitment, practice, impact, and evaluation systems. This study is significant in that it will add to the literature about performance based teacher evaluation.

Book excerpt: This pilot project study explored the relationship between the newly created Educator Evaluation System by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in Missouri and a change in the professional performance of teachers and leaders. In particular, it addressed whether the process articulated in the state's new model resulted in a positive change in an educator's performance ultimately leading to improvements in student learning. A detailed review of the state's model is provided along with the research that supports the need for each step in the process. The pilot project conducted is described and data are reviewed from the participating districts in the pilot. The pilot district data offered in this study demonstrates that a majority of those teachers and administrators who participated in the pilot and used the state's model showed some measure of growth in their professional performance. In fact, well over 90% of those teachers and administrators who participated in the pilot project experienced a positive change in their professional performance, regardless of the particular indicator on which they focused. While traditionally educator evaluation based determinations and ratings of performance primarily from observation data, the Missouri Educator Evaluation System draws from multiple sources. These multiple sources are categorized into three professional frames: commitment, and impact. The commitment frame considers the quality of the teacher in terms of their credentialing, preparation and other similar artifacts indicative of a high quality teacher. The frame considers the quality of the teaching and is gathered through the traditional approach of observation. The impact frame looks at outcome data or the results that occur. All three frames work interdependently to establish a measure of effectiveness. A positive change in an educator's professional performance, as demonstrated by an overwhelming number of teachers and administrators who participated in the pilot project study, requires support by evidence in all three frames. Specifically for teachers, and for some indicators for the administrator, the evidence from the impact frame includes student performance data. The results from this pilot project study demonstrated that a positive change in a teacher's professional performance is accompanied by a positive change in the learning of their students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2009 "State Teacher Policy Yearbook" provided a comprehensive review of states' policies that impact the teaching profession. As a companion to last year's comprehensive state-by-state analysis, the 2010 edition provides each state with an individualized "Blueprint for Change," building off last year's "Yearbook" goals and recommendations. State teacher policy addresses a great many areas, including teacher preparation, certification, evaluation and compensation. With so many moving parts, it may be difficult for states to find a starting point on the road to reform. To this end, this paper provides a state-specific roadmap, organized in three main sections. Section 1 identifies policy concerns that need critical attention, the areas of highest priority for state policymakers. Section 2 outlines "low-hanging fruit," policy changes that can be implemented in relatively short order. Section 3 offers a short discussion of some longer-term systemic issues that states need to make sure stay on the radar. In the 2009 "State Teacher Policy Yearbook", Missouri had the following grades: (1) Delivering Well Prepared Teachers (C-); (2) Expanding the Teaching Pool (D-); (3) Identifying Effective Teachers (D+); (4) Retaining Effective Teachers (D); and (5) Exiting Ineffective Teachers (D-). Missouri has an overall grade of D for 2009. In the last year, many states made significant changes to their teacher policies, spurred in many cases by the Race to the Top competition. Based on a review of state legislation, rules and regulations, the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) has identified no recent policy changes in Missouri. Missouri confirmed that there are no recent policy changes to report. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 5 figures.)
