Description:...

In this essential new book, best-selling author and researcher Robert J. Marzano and teacher-effectiveness expert Michael D. Toth lay out a framework for the "next generation" of teacher evaluation: a model focused primarily on helping educators develop and improve their practice. By taking into account multiple accurate, data-rich measures of teacher performance and student growth, the model ensures that all teachers receive fair, meaningful, and reliable evaluations. The book includes

* Standards, rubrics, and suggested rating methodologies;

* A detailed, five-phase plan for implementing the model;

* Guidelines for calibrating evaluation criteria according to teachers' experience levels;

* A step-by-step guide to creating a coaching program for teachers who require intervention; and

* Recommendations for using technology platforms to enable teacher collaboration.

Teacher evaluation has too often focused on affixing ratings to teachers rather than helping them grow into mastery. The practical, field-tested model proposed in Teacher Evaluation That Makes a Difference has everything your school or district needs to provide teachers--and, by extension, their students--with the support necessary for success.
