Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher evaluation has the potential to lead to improved instruction and professional growth, but, in practice, this potential is often unrealized. North Carolina has revised its teacher evaluation process to include many of the elements that are supported by research as necessary for effective teacher evaluation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether these changes have had any effect on teacher perceptions of evaluation as measured by specific questions on the North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions (TWC) Survey. These TWC Survey questions asked teachers whether they are held to high professional standards for delivering instruction, whether they receive feedback that can help them improve instruction, whether the procedures for teacher evaluation are consistent, whether they are encouraged to reflect on their own practice, and whether they are encouraged to try new things to improve instruction. The new teacher evaluation process in North Carolina was piloted in 2007-08 and then implemented in three phases beginning in the fall of 2008. Data from the 2008 and 2010 TWC Surveys were obtained from the North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards Commission. A series of dependent samples t tests was conducted to compare TWC Survey responses from a group of school districts in 2008, when they had not yet begun to use the new teacher evaluation process, to their responses in 2010 after almost two years of experience with the process. The results of the t tests yielded no significant differences. A series of independent samples t tests was conducted to compare responses from a set of districts that, at the time of the 2010 TWC Survey, had been using the new teacher evaluation process between two and three years to a set of districts that had not yet begun to use the new process and to the responses from the state as a whole. There was a small but significant positive difference in teacher perceptions in those LEAs that had the most experience with the new teacher evaluation process at the time of the 2010 TWC Survey.

Book excerpt: This study was designed to improve the current beginning teacher support program and address the problem of beginning or early career teachers leaving the district. Researchers have found that as many as 50% of teachers leave the profession within their first five years of teaching (Darling-Hammond & Sykes, 2003). This study proposed changes to the Beginning Teacher Support Program that would positively impact the turnover rate. The study focused on Craven County Schools, located in eastern North Carolina. The district has experienced three consecutive years of teacher turnover greater than 15%, causing a high degree of concern within the district. This improvement study was conducted following a small-scale proof of concept in an elementary school within the district. Supporting this study is the model of improvement offered by Langley et al. (2009), joined with the methodology of Improvement Science. There were five improvement strategies implemented in the school during the study including: (a) mentor beginning teachers through years four to six, (b) employ an experienced Exceptional Children's teacher as a beginning teacher mentor, (c) assign buddy teachers in the same subject as the beginning teacher, (d) employ additional beginning teacher mentors and (e) implement mentor and beginning teacher support meetings. The goal of this study and the implementation of these strategies was to reduce teacher turnover to 10% in the school. Although the goal was not reached during the current school year, at the conclusion of the study, the improvement strategies were deemed effective and comprehensive enough for a large-scale implementation across the district.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of beginning teachers from one southwestern North Carolina school district during the 2011-2012 school year. Research questions focused on teacher perceptions of elements related to job satisfaction/dissatisfaction and of methods of support given to beginning teachers. -- The mixed-methods approach was utilized, with surveys serving as the primary data source. Surveys were sent electronically to the district's 142 teachers in their first 3 years in the profession. The survey, adapted from Rhodes, Nevill, and Allan (2004), identified 28 elements and asked teachers to rate the extent to which they felt elements are important, pertaining to overall job satisfaction/dissatisfaction. Elements were later categorized by constructs based upon research by Patrick (2009): workplace atmosphere; administrative support; student behaviors; autonomy; and efficacy. Frequency responses showed that the top 10 ranked elements appeared in the constructs of workplace atmosphere and administrative support. Following the administration of surveys, individual teacher interviews were completed in order to validate teacher responses. Twelve out of 14 teachers interviewed stated that school/district level supports had led to their success. -- The data suggest that teachers feel that they receive strong administrative support in this school district, and in particular, credit the teacher mentor program for their perceptions of success. While all teachers interviewed stated that they planned to remain as a teacher in the district for the following school year, some frustrations of beginning teachers emerged: relationships with other teachers; issues with lesson planning/resources; and student discipline. The findings can be used by school districts to focus on professional development for beginning teachers or to help assess their own induction programs.
