And, while intentions are admirable, the result for many new systems is that good--often excellent--teachers are lost in the process. In the end, students are the losers. In her new book, Linda Darling-Hammond makes a compelling case for a research-based approach to teacher evaluation that supports collaborative models of teacher planning and learning. She outlines the most current research informing evaluation of teaching practice that incorporates evidence of what teachers do and what their students learn. In addition, she examines the harmful consequences of using any single student test as a basis for evaluating individual teachers. Finally, Darling-Hammond offers a vision of teacher evaluation as part of a \u003ci\u003eteaching and learning system\u003c\/i\u003e that supports continuous improvement, both for individual teachers and for the profession as a whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis groundbreaking book: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents a comprehensive teacher evaluation system based on research and best practices. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes a variety of models from across the United States that base evaluations on an assessment of classroom practice in light of professional standards, an array of student work, and active participation in the professional community.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains how teacher peers become part of the evaluation and support system. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemonstrates how to create a fair and substantiated process for removal of teachers who can't improve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Darling-Hammond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807754471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807754474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Teachers College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Linda Darling-Hammond","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621795639551,"sku":"9780807754474","price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/getting-teacher-evaluation-right-linda-darling-hammond-9780807754474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
