Description: "This new book examines four high-profile, high-stakes, contemporary methods for evaluating teaching through learning gains. It offers a rationale and background for each one along with a discussion on supporting evidence and practical implications." "The chapter authors provide these criteria for judging a teacher evaluation system: Is this method fair? Will this method provide comprehensive data? How does this method compare to other methods? What are the positive and negative consequences of using this method?" "You'll find out how well each method stacks up, how cumbersome or easy it is to use, and what kind of support or heel-dragging to expect from participants."--BOOK JACKET.
