Case studies of teacher evaluation systems viewed as successful in suburban high school districts

This study seeks answers to why certain teacher evaluation systems are viewed as successful in improving and maintaining the quality of instruction in Chicago suburban public high schools. The review of the literature explores the two expressed purposes of teacher evaluation: summative and formative evaluation. The review also examines state evaluation laws, the impact of collective bargaining, theory, and context considerations. It reveals specific areas of dissatisfaction expressed by teachers and administrators. The review also presents the factors that knowledgeable professionals and researchers believe are important to an effective teacher evaluation system.
