Evaluating Differently: Toward Useful and Realistic Evaluation of Teachers in Public Schools

Three new papers from the Center for American Progress will inform the discussion-one presents original research on teacher evaluation practices within three high-performing charter management organizations, the second outlines how states and districts could do a better job of recognizing and acting upon differences in teacher effectiveness, and the third discusses the barriers to dismissing chronically ineffective teachers and offers policy recommendations to support a better system of performance management.   You can join the event live online
