Overview of teacher assessment by 3 Dutch scholars

This article provides a relatively compact, organized overview of the reasons and audiences for assessing teacher performance, followed by a review of various specific methods as actually practiced (mostly in the United States) and evaluating (meta-assessing?) these assessment methods.
