    Article addresses the question as to how to assess teachers who are not directly linked to standardized testing of students. A referenced study suggests that the majority of teachers will fall into the "not linked to state testing" category contrary to the attention that is being given to the evaluation standards set under Race to the Top requirements and other state legislation.

paradigm shift teacher evaluations professional development

  • The teachers’ goal was to devise recommendations based on teachers’ own experience for what measures districts should consider when evaluating teachers, and how heavily each of those measures should be weighted.
  • focused on breaking down “the culture of ‘closed doors’”
  • Under the state’s teacher evaluation deal passed last May, teachers will be given a score on a new 100-point scale, with 40 of those points determined by student achievement data.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The remaining 60 points will be determined through “local assessments,” which will take forms that must be negotiated by school districts and their local unions. The law leaves open what those assessments could look like. Newly-developed tests or portfolio demonstrations of student work are two ideas that state officials have mentioned as possibilities.
  • One aspect of the local assessments is clear: they all must meet new regulations that are currently being developed by a state task force led by Deputy Education Commissioner John King.
  • The group ended up recommending that the 60 points be spread across five different evaluation measures, giving the most weight to observations by school administrators and other teachers in the school. A sixth measure — student portfolio work — was considered but abandoned, because the increase in paperwork for teachers seemed too high for the value the portfolios would provide for the evaluations, Anderson said.

  • Common standards for professional development that are integrated into licensure and certification systems; • Emerging efforts to audit and monitor the quality of professional development; • Mentoring and induction requirements for new teachers, some of which are enforced; • A network and infrastructure that offer support for site-based professional development; and • Stability of resources, even during the economic downturn.

    I work in a district with a very strong professional development program. I am wondering how other schools/districts monitor the quality of their programs/offerings and/or the implementation of strategies in the classroom. Any ideas?
