This is the first book to gather and address what we have learned about the impacts and challenges of data-intensive teacher evaluation systems—a defining characteristic of the current education policy landscape.

Book Features:

  • Contributions by scholars working at the cutting edge of research and pioneering leaders directly involved in the implementation of teacher evaluation systems.
  • Examination of the challenges and impact multiple measures-based evaluations are having on teaching and learning.
  • Empirical research on the reliability and validity of evaluation measures, including classroom observation instruments, value-added measures, student surveys, and teacher portfolios.

Contributors include: Ryan Balch, Marisa Cannata, Casey D. Cobb, Julie Cohen, Sean P. Corcoran, Morgaen L. Donaldson, Tim Drake, Dan Goldhaber, Ellen Goldring, Bridget K. Hamre, Gary T. Henry, Nathan D. Jones, Venessa A. Keesler, Susanna Loeb, Robert C. Pianta, Min Sun, Andrea Whittaker

“Grissom and Youngs collect our best research-based knowledge on the topic in a smart, accessible volume that sets the standard in the field.”
John Tyler, Brown University

“An insightful guide to new teacher evaluation systems. The contributions from individual authors couple what we know about measurement quality in these systems with a valuable first look at on-the-ground implementation.”
Heather Hill, Harvard Graduate School of Education

“One of the most significant recent changes in school district administration has been the widespread development and implementation of teacher evaluation systems based on pupil performance and other measures. This book brings together top scholars who identify key issues, providing insights into possible benefits and perils.”
Robert E. Floden, Michigan State University
