- Title
Changes in Teacher Evaluation: Implications for the Principal's Work.
- Authors
Derrington, Mary Lynne
- Abstract
Evaluating teacher competency is too often a perfunctory, episodic event rather than a meticulous measure of teaching effectiveness and student achievement. Rather than viewing teachers as passive recipients of a principal's evaluative judgment, educators must see teachers as adult learners who work best when actively engaged in the improvement process. A trend is evolving toward collection and presentation by teachers of multiple sources that give evidence of their effectiveness as part of the evaluation process. However, this teacher-evaluation model requires a change in the principal's role as well. Principals will require greater authority and broader district support to implement a substantial change in the teacher-evaluation process.
