Annual Effective Teachers Initiative (ETI) Survey Analysis, 2014-2015. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
Early in the Effective Teachers Initiative (ETI), Houston Independent School District (HISD) prioritized the design and implementation of a Teacher Appraisal and Development System (TADS) that gives teachers, principals, and district officials the information they need to improve instructional practice and make staffing decisions that ensure that every student in the district is learning from an effective teacher. The new appraisal system was implemented in 2011-2012. As an integral part of the system, each teacher is paired with an appraiser who coaches him/her to become more effective through observations, walkthroughs, curriculum planning, professional development, and assigning student outcome measures to assure overall effective teaching. This report analyzes results from the End of the Year ETI annual survey for 2014-2015. The survey was distributed to teachers and appraisers and addresses topics such as appraisal legitimacy, appraisal implementation, feedback delivery, and teacher support.
