This paper describes efforts to design an evaluation system that has as its primary objective helping schools effect positive change through the Accelerated Schools Project. Three characteristics were deemed essential: (1) that the evaluation be useful and meaningful; (2) that it be sensitive to local conditions; and (3) that evaluations of projects and teachers be linked so that project goals and individual goals mesh. The evaluation system incorporates key features of the Accelerated Schools program and the planning process defined by Act 135 of the South Carolina legislature, as well as the state's new goals-based teacher evaluation system, the ADEPT system. By linking goals developed as part of systematic schoolwide planning with individual professional goals, teachers can track the interplay between their own professional development and systemic changes occurring in their schools. The framework is in the design stage, with pilot testing being planned. Four tables and one figure illustrate the discussion. (Contains eight references.) (SLD)
