Teacher Evaluation 2.0

The New Teacher Project –
October 22, 2011

This guide from The New Teacher Project proposes six design standards that any rigorous and fair evaluation system should meet: Annual updates, clear and rigorous expectations, multiple performance measures, multiple evaluation ratings, regular feedback, and real consequences. It reviews the actions states have so far taken to revise teacher evaluations and the justifications for doing so, then discusses the research and reasoning supporting each of its six criteria.
