Quality Assurance

Professional Learning

Why Assess Classroom Teacher Effectiveness?

“Value” is at the root of the word “evaluation.”

What we evaluate needs to come from what we value as a community.

Why does this matter for classroom teachers?

The TPEP project has relied heavily on the growing body of research, the framework authors and the practical input from practitioners in the pilot sites to create a “working definition” of rater agreement for the 2012‐13 school year. 

The new law requires that evaluators of both teachers and principals “must engage in professional development designed to implement the revised systems and maximize rater agreement.”
