Teacher Evaluation: Guide to Professional Practice is organized around
four dominant, interrelated core issues: professional standards, a guide
to applying the Joint Committee's Standards, ten alternative models
for the evaluation of teacher performance, and an analysis of these
selected models. The book draws heavily on research and development
conducted by the Federally funded national Center for Research on
Educational Accountability and Teacher Evaluation (CREATE). The reader
will come to grasp the essence of sound teacher evaluation and will be
able to apply its principles, facts, ideas, processes, and procedures.
Finally, the book invites and assists school professionals and other
readers to examine the latest developments in teacher evaluation.
