This book was released on 2016 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In acknowledgement of research related to the deficits of traditional teacher evaluation systems, the Pennsylvania Department of Education developed the Educator Effectiveness System (EES) as a comprehensive multiple measures teacher evaluation system (MMTES) requiring building administrators to evaluate teachers using evidence-based observations and a variety of measures indicating teacher contributions to student achievement (Pennsylvania Department of Education, 2014). The purpose of this qualitative research study was to examine the perceptions of building level administrators related to the impact of the implementation of Pennsylvania's EES on their supervision and evaluation of teachers. Qualitative data in the form of survey responses and personal interviews were collected from participating building administrators throughout 15 public school districts in southcentral Pennsylvania to determine the impact of evidence-based observations, the impact of using SLO, PVAAS and SPP data as measures of teacher effectiveness, and the need for additional supports and professional development for administrators working within the EES. The analysis of the data collected during this study indicated building administrators believed Pennsylvania's EES has helped them become more overall effective supervisors and evaluators, mainly due to positive impacts of using evidence-based observation methods. Building administrators reported positive and negative impacts of the use of SLO, PVAAS, and SPP data as measures of teacher effectiveness. Additional time to complete tasks associated with the EES and training related to the use of student growth and achievement data were identified as needed supports.
Download or read book Perceptions of Teachers and Administrators Regarding the Teacher Evaluation Process written by Joy Davis Sheppard and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Teacher evaluations can be a tool for increasing teacher effectiveness and accountability if it is determined how evaluations can be best used. According to current literature, this is not the case. It is more pertinent than ever that administrators use evaluations to strengthen marginal teachers and further develop skills of teachers who are already proficient. However, few studies exist pertaining to teacher and administrator perceptions of teacher evaluation effectiveness and even fewer focus Georgia teacher evaluations. The purpose of this descriptive study was to investigate perceptions of the teacher evaluation process held by teachers and administrators in southeast Georgia so that improvements to the teacher evaluation process could be considered. Survey data were collected (277 teachers and 12 administrators) representing three rural school districts in southeast Georgia. Data collection tools included the Teacher Evaluation Profile for Teachers and Administrators. Both included questions that participants rated based on a Likert-type scale. In addition to the Likert-types questions, one-open ended question was included that allowed teachers and administrators to reflect upon the current process for teacher evaluation used in their systems. Findings from both the Likert-type response questions and the open-ended question were analyzed with comparative differences between the survey and the open-iiended response data. Data were analyzed by position (teacher and administrator). Responses on the survey questions were positive from both teachers and administrators. A large number of teachers (43.73%) indicated that the evaluation process in their system was average and that these evaluations had a strong impact on professional practices (20.15%). According to teachers, the strongest attribute of the evaluation process was that the feedback focused on the standards whereas administrators indicated that the timing of the feedback was the greatest attribute of the evaluation process. In addition, administrators believed that teacher evaluations have the greatest impact on student learning. This study demonstrated that both teachers and administrators are reasonably satisfied with the teacher evaluation process. This study resulted in limited findings that would indicate a complete overhaul of the evaluation process, but it suggests that minor changes could be made to enhance the overall usefulness of teacher evaluations.

Download or read book Evaluating Teachers Using Student Growth Measures written by Catherine G. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate how the inclusion of student growth measures in the teacher evaluation process may alter teacher’s perceptions of the trust relationship with building level administrators and influence changes in classroom practices. A theoretical frame built around the five facets of trust: benevolence, reliability, competence, honesty, and openness was used as the lens to inform the research questions. Participants were purposefully selected by their years of experience, grade level and content teaching assignments and employment at one of the three selected high schools chosen in the study. Findings indicate benevolence and reliability were two facets of trust that were most important in building or destroying trust. For teachers with a solid trust relationship with their evaluating administrator, the uncertainties about the inclusion of student growth measures to the evaluation process was mitigated by the perception teachers had that the administrator would look out for their best interest and knew multiple factors would be taken into consideration. For those with low levels or no trust, the inclusion of student growth measures created behaviors of self-preservation and concern about the intentions of the administration. Student growth measures added to the evaluation process has been promoted as a way to improve teacher performance, teachers had differing views on how it would influence practices including unintended consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing public criticism of traditional teacher evaluation systems based largely on classroom observations has spurred an unprecedented shift in the debate surrounding educational accountability policies, specifically about the purposes for and measures used to evaluate teachers. In response to growing public demand and associated federal mandates, states have been prompted to design and implement teacher evaluation systems that use increasingly available, statistically complex models (i.e., value-added) intended to isolate and measure the effects of individual teachers on student academic growth over time. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of school administrators and teachers within one of the largest school districts in the state of Arizona with regards to the design and implementation of a federally-supported, state policy-directed teacher evaluation system based on professional practice and value-added measures. While much research has been conducted on teacher evaluation, few studies have examined teacher evaluation systems in context to better understand the standards of effectiveness used by school administrators and teachers to measure system effectiveness. The perceptions of school administrators and teachers, considering their lived experiences as the subjects of the nation's new and improved teacher evaluation systems in context, must be better understood if state and federal policymakers are to also better recognize and understand the consequences (intended and unintended) associated with the design and implementation of these systems in practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT IS EFFECTIVE TEACHING? It’s not enough to say “I know it when I see it” – not when we’re expecting so much more from students and teachers than in the past. To help teachers achieve greater success with their students we need new and better ways to identify and develop effective teaching. The Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) project represents a groundbreaking effort to find out what works in the classroom. With funding by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the MET project brought together leading academics, education groups, and 3,000 teachers to study teaching and learning from every angle. Its reports on student surveys, observations, and other measures have shaped policy and practice at multiple levels. This book shares the latest lessons from the MET project. With 15 original studies, some of the field’s most preeminent experts tap the MET project’s unprecedented collection of data to offer new insights on evaluation methods and the current state of teaching in our schools. As feedback and evaluation methods evolve rapidly across the country, Designing Teacher Evaluation Systems is a must read and timely resource for those working on this critical task. PRAISE FOR DESIGNING TEACHER EVALUATION SYSTEMS “This book brings together an all-star team to provide true data-driven, policy-relevant guidance for improving teaching and learning.
