Effective Teaching Training. Program Evaluation.
Vanderburg, Arne S.; Shainline, Michael
Workshops for teachers given under the Effective Teaching Training (ETT) program of the Albuquerque (New Mexico) Public Schools were evaluated. Based on the Upland Model of Effective Teaching, ETT will be extended to all teachers and administrators in the district by the end of the 1988-89 school year. Interviews, workshop ratings, and implementation surveys were used to evaluate the workshops. Interviews were conducted with 31 teachers and principals (from 4 elementary, 4 middle, and 4 high schools), and 4 administrators. The results indicate that: (1) teachers thought the intent of ETT was improvement of the overall quality of teaching; (2) respondents thought the program was a positive move on the part of a new administration; (3) most administrators thought ETT gave a sound basis for evaluation, while teachers considered that it increased their enthusiasm for teaching; (4) planning skills, classroom management skills, and administrators' ability to hold teacher conferences were improved; (5) school-based support was perceived as coming from principals; (6) district-wide implementation was advocated; (7) a large majority of teachers said they were implementing the concepts almost daily; and (8) most of the teachers considered that the quality of their teaching had improved. All aspects of training were rated highly by teachers and administrators. Eighteen tables provide data on the ETT program. (SLD)
