Why ow s he tie or

Beer teacher Ealuaion

The trend of access to funds tied to the

presence of a rigorous system for teacher

evaluation is not going to go away. But basing

teacher evaluations on test scores alone is

unfair and inadequate. The ASCD Teacher

Effectiveness Suite gives you the opportunity

to evaluate and support teacher effectiveness

on a balanced set of research-based factors

shown to improve student learning.

Powere by a Breakhrough

technology

The ASCD Teacher Effectiveness Suite uses

the iObservation web-based platform to

connect the research-based Framework for

Teaching to student performance data and

other indicators of teacher effectiveness.

iObservation is the only system to connect

student achievement data to specific teach-

ing practices.

Most promises to link teacher evaluations to teacher effectiveness and student

achievement are just that—promises based on scant evidence and little support

for implementation. Now that’s all changed. With the D Teacher ffectiveness

that genuinely inform teaching practice, improve professional development, and
