Evaluating America’s teachers

The Washington Post wrote a piece about Professor Emeritus Thomas Good's recently released research brief, “Addressing Teacher Evaluation Properly.”

"Good told me that teacher evaluation practices today are varied across the nation in part because of large differences that schools have in resources for teacher development. For example, some districts spend $7,000 per teacher while others spend little, and there is varying availability of supervisors “who have the knowledge, skills, and time to do observations and to provide critical and supportive feedback.”

Good co-authored the brief with Utah State University Assistant Professor Alyson L. Lavigne.
