This month, the Brown Center on Education Policy releases a new report on the design and performance of new teacher evaluation systems in four urban school districts. The report indicates that nearly all the opportunities for improvement to teacher evaluation systems are in the area of classroom observations rather than in test score gains.
At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, May 13, report authors Russ Whitehurst and Matthew Chingos, along with special guests Dan Goldhaber and Kate Walsh, will discuss noteworthy findings from the report and their implications for the future of teacher evaluation systems.
