Shulman (1989) argued how 'outrageously complex' teaching is and how reform imperatives driving standards should not lead to standardisation and the subsequent loss of soul. We assert that framing a model of teachers' Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is similarly 'outrageously complex', a multifaceted construct that has professional,…

Vermunt – Higher Education Research and Development, 2024
Higher education (HE) is engaged in a variety of educational innovations, as well as professional development initiatives (PDIs) to support teachers in attaining the required expertise. To improve teacher professional learning and development (PLD) and innovation processes, it is important to understand whether, how and why different PLD practices…

Steven B. Davis; John Hinck – Journal of Faculty Development, 2024
Scholarship on life cycles of teacher development posits that teachers progress through specific stages with specific developmental needs. However, this scholarship rests on studies over traditional ten-month, semester, or quarterly education cycles and does not accommodate alternative teaching frequencies or durations. This study applies this…

Etan Cohen; Adam Lefstein; Gideon Dishon – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Scholars and educators have puzzled for decades about how to provide K-12 teachers with the resources necessary to support and improve teaching. New information and communication technologies have opened up infinitely more possibilities, setting the stage for a renewed discussion about what teaching entails and how best to support it. In this…

Teaching evaluation is a central process across institutions for faculty retention, promotion, and tenure. While there is a rich literature on methods for evaluating teaching, there is less scholarship on the goals and processes for reforming systems of teaching evaluation. Surprisingly, there is little to no information on teaching criteria at…

Sull, Errol Craig – Distance Learning, 2023
In the online classroom environment, interactions with colleagues are far more limited than if in an a face-to-face teaching environment. Yet, there are still opportunities to correspond, share, and collaborate with them, and these colleagues come in a variety of personalities, subject expertise, and teaching abilities. Just believing that every…

Kim Marshall – Phi Delta Kappan, 2024
Traditional teacher evaluations -- full-lesson observations, write-ups, and debriefs -- are time-consuming and largely ineffective. As a principal, Kim Marshall found that mini-observations -- short, frequent, unannounced classroom visits, each followed by a face-to-face coaching conversation and brief narrative summary -- actually improved…

Allison R. Firestone; Rebecca A. Cruz; Darcie Massey – Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 2024
Theory-focused joint displays represent an innovative approach to data and results integration with potential to build understanding of complex constructs, including factors that influence change over time. However, the extant literature offers few examples for doing so, particularly in convergent research designs. Therefore, the purpose of this…

A Correlation between Evaluator Feedback on Teacher Evaluations Using T-TESS and Student Test Scores

It is important that evaluations provide data to improve teaching and learning. Therefore, each evaluation needs to communicate opportunities for growth. This…
