Center X Research, Practice, and Policy Brief
Author(s): Mollie Appelgate & Kate Beaudet
Abstract:
Across the Los Angeles area and the nation, much of the current education debate focuses on teachers – their effectiveness, tenure, and pay. Ensuring quality teaching is paramount, but developing good systems for evaluating and improving teacher quality is far from straightforward. Using educational research, the experiences of one Los Angeles area school, and teacher evaluation policies from around the nation, this Research, Practice, and Policy Brief is designed to provide background, resources, and steps to develop a school-based multiple measures system of teacher evaluation. The goal of this brief is to be an introductory resource to help autonomous school communities craft an effective system of evaluation that includes multiple ways to measure good teaching. Secondary beneficiaries include educators and policymakers working in Los Angeles and the nation who are also engaged in this debate.
