Now available in paper, this version is the first comprehensive look at the process of selecting, assessing and assisting teachers in nearly a decade. Since the publication of the first Handbook, the profession of teaching has witnessed dramatic change including a greater awareness of teacher accountability, an increase in teacher testing and the development of teaching incentives. At the same time the political, social and organizational factors affecting the performance and evaluation of teachers have been subjects of intensive scrutiny. Reflecting these changes, the new Handbook contains 25 new chapters, and explores current practices, issues and controversies related to the evaluation of teachers at elementary and secondary levels.

A masterful compilation of diverse perspectives. Daniel L. Stufflebeam, Director, The Evaluation Center, Western Michigan University It′s not a question of whether student learning is an important goal of teaching. Everyone agrees it is. The issue explored here is can you (and should you) use student learning as a measurement tool for assessing teacher effectiveness? This 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 valuation 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. Measuring teacher effectiveness through student learning can also result in: * Higher levels of instruction * Important data for school and program evaluation * A model for continuous school improvement * A more accurate picture of what (and how) students are learning If you′re interested in the future of teacher assessment, or if you′re ready to make changes in the way your school or district assesses its teachers, you need to read this book.
