Abstract
Part 3 is a step-by-step GUIDE to assessing and improving teacher evaluation systems. The GUIDE demonstrates how the Standards can be effectively and systematically operationalized to examine presently used, or contemplated, teacher evaluation systems. Core duties to be considered in evaluating a teacher’s performance are more closely defined as the normative list of what teachers legitimately can be held responsible for (Scriven, 1988). Discussion then moves to a consideration of which particular Joint Committee Standards should be used to assess the adequacy of a teacher evaluation system, and this is followed by the presentation of a conceptual framework delineating factors that define and influence performance evaluation systems. This framework is applicable to a range of personnel evaluation systems in education. Based on this framework, schools and school districts are invited to examine personnel evaluation systems step by step. The term GUIDE is seen to be most appropriate in this regard.
