Evaluating Teacher Performance
September 19, 2005
There is always a moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
-Graham Greene
In her recent Exchange article, “Developing Early- to Mid-Career Teachers” (Exchange, March 2005), Patricia Scallan Berl offered these tips on conducting performance evaluations with early- to mid-career teachers:

• Prior to reviews build in time for self-evaluation/self reflection.

• Conduct evaluations in a nonjudgmental way, describing behaviors and results versus making judgments.

• Use peer coaches to reinforce core competencies and offer feedback that enables the individual to progress up the career ladder.

• Incorporate team evaluations as well as individual evaluations.

• Include anecdotal information, work samples, parent and peer comments in reviews.

• Assign a mentor when there are longer term development needs or in preparation for future leadership positions.

• Counsel unsuccessful teachers out of teaching when it is clear that they are not well suited to teaching.

• Recognize and reward outstanding performance.
