This book was released on 2014 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development and implementation of an accurate teacher evaluation system continues to be a controversial topic in public education. Educational researchers study a variety of teacher evaluation systems searching for a fair and balanced method. Policy makers searching for an accurate form of evaluation believe that student achievement data should be included in teacher evaluations. Performance- Based evaluation was created in order to test the effectiveness of teachers and hold them accountable for student achievement, but questions continue to arise as to the validity of this evaluation method. This study examined the perceptions of elementary school teachers on performance-based evaluation. Four research questions were developed based on the components of performance-based evaluation. Nine interview questions were generated to investigate teacher perceptions of teacher evaluation and student achievement, sources of information for teacher evaluation, the accuracy of performance-based evaluation, and types of teacher incentives that may be included as part of performance-based evaluation. Four teachers, two of which currently participate in performance-based evaluations were interviewed. Their responses were coded to discover overarching themes and commonalities. Through the analysis of the responses, this researcher found that teachers are searching for a fair and balanced method of teacher evaluation and believe that performance-based evaluation could be the answer, if it is implemented correctly.

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.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to evaluate teachers accurately is indispensable for both the development of effective teachers and for student achievement. In this era of accountability, it is important school districts develop evaluation systems that comply with the propriety, utility, feasibility, and accuracy standards of the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluations. This study focused on a process evaluation of a new teacher evaluation program. While previous studies have been conducted from the teachers or the evaluators perspectives, this study examined both perspectives. More than 1,500 teachers and 41 principals were invited to complete an online instrument modified from surveys conducted by Hopkins and Stronge. Of concern to the teachers and principals was the accuracy of the new evaluation program, they did not see the value and validity of using SLOs to improve teaching practices to increase learning, and teachers slightly favored using the professional practices component more than the SLO component of the evaluation. Using SLO data in teacher evaluation is an unknown dynamic for teachers; therefore, school administrators need to understand how teachers perceive this change as it relates to teacher support of the new evaluation process. If districts are to safeguard the fidelity, implementation, and sustainability of new evaluation programs for teachers, districts must acknowledge the influence teacher perceptions have on endorsing implementation efforts toward change. Teachers' perceptions toward adjusting instructional practices to align with the standards and criteria of new evaluation programs can either hinder or ensure program implementation.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the introduction of the Race to the Top initiative in 2009, many states and school districts have rapidly modified their teacher evaluation models in order to hold teachers accountable for student learning and meet federal mandates. Through evaluative feedback and professional learning, the intended outcome in many districts is improved instructional practices by ensuring quality teachers in every classroom. Due to these changes, this phenomenological study sought to understand how teachers experience a reformed evaluation system and their perception of changes in their practice as a result of teacher evaluation. This study found that while teachers have varying experiences with reformed teacher evaluation within one school district, there are components of evaluation that lead to teacher change in practice. Teachers desire feedback that helps them reflect on their practice or try something new in their classroom. By setting a meaningful annual goal for their evaluation, teachers had a focal point for the year and something to work towards which often lead them to refine or make changes to their instruction. Through a survey and teacher interviews, this study contributes to the academic literature by demonstrating that teacher evaluation can result in more than simply accountability; it has the potential to bring about change for teachers if the right conditions are in place through the evaluation process.
