Smith, Orin; Windish, Daniel; Taylor, Rosemarye
Education Leadership Review, v17 n1 p43-59 May 2016
This longitudinal study examined the professional perceptions of educational leaders as to the fairness and impact of teacher evaluation and compensation reforms under Race to the Top. The study surveyed graduate students in education and educational leadership programs to assess changes in their perceptions from prior to RTTT implementation (2011) to the initiative's final funding year (2014). Study results revealed a negative general trajectory for perceptions of the fairness and impact of RTTT reforms between 2011 and 2014. The evaluation and compensation components, including value-added models, were viewed less favorably among administrative and instructional personnel in almost all areas surveyed.
