Report: Approaches to evaluating teacher effectiveness: A research synthesisCategoriesAreasSTATE:inclusive leadership for equity and accountability AuthorsGoe, E.; Bell, C.; Little, O. Published2008 PublisherNational Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality AbstractThis research synthesis examines how teacher effectiveness is currently measured and provides practical guidance for how best to evaluate teacher effectiveness. It evaluates the research on teacher effectiveness and the different instruments used to measure it. In addition, it defines the components and indicators that characterize effective teachers, extending this definition beyond teachers' contribution to student achievement gains to include how teachers impact classrooms, schools, and their colleagues as well as how they contribute to other important outcomes for students. The findings are presented along with related policy implications. In addition, the synthesis describes how various measures have been evaluated, explains why certain measures are most suitable for certain purposes (high-stakes evaluation versus formative evaluation, for instance), and suggests how the results of the study might be used to inform the national conversation about teacher effectiveness.
