There's a lot of conversation in the early childhood community on evaluating teachers to improve their performance. Raising the quality of early care and education is a priority for policymakers and practitioners on local, state, and federal levels. As a result, much attention is being focused on early childhood educators to ensure that they do a good--and better--job teaching young children. This book provides accessible information, guidance, techniques, and tools to aid you--whether you are a director, coach, principal, or hold another leadership role--as you evaluate and support teachers in a way that encourages and enables them to do their best work with children.
