The memorable statistic from that report: 98 percent of teachers were evaluated as “satisfactory.” Based on such findings, many have characterized classroom observation as a hopelessly flawed approach to assessing teacher effectiveness. The ubiquity of “satisfactory” ratings stands in contrast to a rapidly growing body of research that examines differences in teachers’ effectiveness at raising student achievement. In recent years, school districts and states have compiled datasets that make it possible to track the achievement of individual students from one year to the next, and to compare the progress made by similar students assigned to different teachers.

When Principals Rate Teachers Elementary- and secondary-school teachers in the United States traditionally have been compensated according to salary schedules based solely on experience and education. Concerned that this system makes it difficult to retain talented teachers and provides few incentives for them to work to raise student achievement while in the classroom, many policymakers have proposed merit-pay programs that link teachers’ salaries directly to their apparent impact on student achievement. Until recently, only a handful of isolated districts had attempted such programs. Now entire state systems are moving toward merit pay, with new policies established recently in Florida and Texas requiring districts to set teachers’ salaries based in part on the gains their students are making on the state’s accountability exam. Implementing a merit-pay system, however, comes with challenges.

Crafting an Accurate System for Evaluating Teachers Charlotte Danielson, creator of the teacher evaluation scripts used by more than half of New Jersey's school districts. Charlotte Danielson may not be a recognizable name to the general public, but the Princeton-based consultant is the architect of a framework for observing and evaluating teachers that has been the gold standard in schools across the country. By one count, a third of New Jersey school districts use the Danielson method in their own evaluation systems, focusing on its criteria for effective teaching. Danielson divides those criteria into 22 components across four domains: preparation, classroom environment, instruction, and professional responsibility. As the Christie administration now moves to create a statewide teacher evaluation system, the Danielson framework is one of the programs being offered to 10 pilot districts.

Sample Questions - Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium We witnessed firsthand how the new assessments will challenge students to think critically and problem solve.Parent from Hawaii These sample questions illustrate the rigor and complexity of the English language arts and math items and performance tasks that students will encounter on Smarter Balanced assessments. They are intended to help teachers, administrators, and policymakers get a snapshot of Smarter Balanced questions. Although the questions and performance tasks are not intended to be used as sample tests, educators can use them to plan the shifts in instruction that help students meet the demands of the assessments. The test simulation platform formerly used for Sample Items and Tasks is undergoing updates to ensure that all samples are representative of the range of items used in the operational Smarter Balanced assessments.
