Teacher Evaluation: A Critique of Currently Used Methods.
Soar, Robert S.; And Others
Phi Delta Kappan, v65 n4 p239-46 Dec 1983
This study finds that the chief existing teacher evaluation methods (measuring teacher characteristics, student achievement test scores, and teacher performance rating scales) are subjective, open to bias, closed to public scrutiny, and based on irrelevancies. The study advocates evaluation procedures that are performance-based and empirically tested. (PB)
