Linking Teacher Evaluation and Student Learning
by By Stronge, James H. and Tucker, Pamela D.
Category: Education , Administration , General

Tucker (education, University of Virginia) and Stronge (educational policy, College of William and Mary) show that including measures of student achievement in teacher evaluations can help schools focus their efforts to meet higher standards. They describe how four real school systems have built such measures into their evaluation programs in different ways, and explore the strengths and limitations of each of the four approaches. Appendices provide rubrics and forms for adapting these approaches to an existing evaluation program. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
