Brimming with perceptive advice and thought-provoking arguments, this book is both a wake-up call and a roadmap to success for those determined to provide students with the best education possible. With its clear definition of the elements of good teaching, the framework for teaching, designed by Charlotte Danielson, is used by educators around the world for professional preparation, recruitment and hiring, mentoring and induction, professional development, and performance appraisal.
This action tool can guide you in applying the framework in your own classroom or school and strengthening your professional practice with proven strategies. As recently as the early s, portfolios began to appear in the classroom in to support a variety of activities, from helping students and teachers set goals to helping teachers and administrators assess curriculum needs. For many educators, the portfolio process offers a clear strategy for the achievement of important classroom objectives.
According to accounts from both researchers and practitioners, portfolios can: — engage students in learning content, — help students learn the skills of reflection and self-evaluation, — document student learning in areas that do not lend themselves to traditional assessment, and — facilitate communication with parents. This practical guide provides a useful resource for educators who would like to begin using portfolios in the classroom.
In a concise format, the authors examine the many uses of portfolios and offer guidance on strategies to increase the effectiveness of this process in assessment and instruction. Tucker and James H. Stronge show that including measures of student achievement in teacher evaluations can help schools focus their efforts to meet higher standards.
The authors explore the strengths of each approach, offer insights from teachers and administrators, and describe practical ways to incorporate similar measures of student learning into your own evaluation program. For any school that is working to meet higher standards, linking teacher evaluation to measures of student learning is a powerful way to refocus professional development and improve student achievement.
Teacher evaluation — a term that brings fear, anticipation, stress, anxiety, or even boredom to the hearts of teachers and administrators everywhere. How can we reinvent teacher evaluation so that it really makes a difference — so that the students succeed as a result of it?
