What is the goal of the Measures of Effective Teaching project?
Great teaching is multi-dimensional. Therefore, it should be viewed through multiple measures, none of which are sufficient to stand alone. Teachers should know what expectations are for good teaching and what they can do to improve their practice. The project will study multiple measures of teacher effectiveness, including videotaped classroom observations, student surveys and other test and non-test based data and compare them to nationally recognized teaching standards. This data will help determine ways in which effective teaching can be measured fairly and consistently.
