The rationality and the effectiveness of classroom teaching behavior directly influence the quality of classroom instruction. Analyzing teaching behavior intelligently can provide robust data support for teacher development and teaching supervision. By observing verbal and nonverbal behaviors of teachers in the classroom, valuable data on…

In research paper we examine that teacher evaluation is conducted to improve the teaching effectiveness of the faculty. However, the evaluation itself has to be effective, which is possible when two issues are first addressed quite skillfully. First is the factors (or criteria) of successful teacher and teaching. And second is 'who will evaluate?'…

This qualitative case study focused on 13 elementary teachers' perceptions of their evaluations. Using multiple schools (5) and teachers (13) we explored the impact of evaluations on instruction. Informed by Pekrun's control-value theory, our analysis focused on teachers' motivations and emotions. Teachers did not value or feel in control of their…

The purpose of this study is to answer the question: How do pilot users of the Danielson Evaluation System perceive this model in two mid-south high schools? The study describes the perceptions of teachers and administrators who implemented the Danielson Teacher Evaluation Model. The primary focus was on teachers and administrators experience with…

This study describes how multiple-measure teacher evaluations were put into practice in a set of ten volunteering local education agencies (LEAs) in Arizona. After a key shift in state policy, five "pilot" LEAs implemented the new Arizona Department of Education teacher evaluation model in the 2012/13 school year, while five other…

The dynamic model does not only refer to different effectiveness factors and groupings of factors operating at different levels but also supports that each factor can be defined and measured using 5 dimensions: frequency, focus, stage, quality, and differentiation. The importance of taking each dimension into account is raised in this paper.…

This evaluation model is an attempt to provide a workable formula for a typical school setting. The key ingredient is a climate of professionalism and mutual trust. (Editor/RK)

Suggestions are made for priority and strategy changes designed to make the process-product model for investigating effective teacher behaviors more productive. (MJB)

Reviews traditional models for evaluating teachers, then proposes a model based on the appropriateness and quality of lessons. (FL)

Reviews two models of assisting and assessing teachers, combines these models into a realistic synthesis, and suggests how this synthesis could be used to provide incentives for good teaching performance. (HOD)

An experimental group of 21 general and special education preservice teachers received training in specific instructional behaviors, focusing on instructional strategies, classroom management and organization, presentation of subject matter, and learning environments. They also received training using the Appraisal Alignment Training model, which…

This book (paperback), developed for preservice teachers in pre-student teaching laboratory experiences at Southern Illinois University, is intended also for wider use. The first half (text section) has three parts. Part 1 includes rationale for educational laboratory experiences and discussion of student, administrator, and classroom teacher…

A two-level model was formulated for the evaluation projects engaged in staff development in the Memphis elementary schools. The model takes into account that such projects are responsible for direct outcome in terms of teacher behavior, and indirect outcome in terms of pupil behavior. The two-level model provides an opportunity for assessing the…

Classroom observation is an integral part of teacher preparation. The observer must enter the classroom with a frame-of-reference: knowledge of the teacher's goals and objectives, awareness of the climate of the classroom, and knowledge of the discipline. Observation forms to objectively record classroom interaction, assess the learning climate,…

Following a brief research review regarding the relationship between teacher behavior and student outcomes, a model is proposed for identifying those teaching behaviors that are significantly related to high-quality student performance. The model's stages include: (1) delineation of questions; (2) establishment of a framework; (3) selection of an…
