How To Build a Better Teacher

Cincinnati?s approach combines evaluation by expert teachers?who observe classroom performance and also critique lesson plans and other written materials?with feedback based on those evaluations, to help teachers figure out how to improve. The study that professor Staiger described, by Eric Taylor of Stanford and John Tyler of Brown, focused on teachers in grades 4-8 who were already in the school system in 2000, which allowed the researchers to examine, for a given teacher, the test scores of their pupils before, during, and after evaluation was performed and feedback received. And because the TES was phased in gradually, the researchers could compare the performance of teachers who had already been evaluated and received feedback to those who were still awaiting their TES treatment. This ensured that any change in test scores wasn?t just the result of a general improvement in Cincinnati?s schools concurrent with the implementation of TES.
