Teacher Evaluation
Research in Brief
In January 2015 EdVoice released a report evaluating school districts’ policies surrounding evaluation of educators performance entitled “Student Progress Ignored: An Examination of California school districts’ compliance with the Stull Act.” The evaluation requirements of the Stull Act, originally passed in 1971, the report argues, are largely ignored in districts’ current evaluation plans. EdVoice definitely has a stake in educator evaluation. As you may remember, EdVoice won a lawsuit against the Los Angeles district in 2012 in Doe et al. v. Deasy et al. requiring the district to take into account student progress in educator evaluations.
Below we have highlighted research briefs and resources that provide a quick coverage of policy research on teacher evaluation.
