As states assume more autonomy under the Every Student Succeeds Act, many are at a crossroads: They can retreat from their teacher evaluation policies, or take stock of their systems and refine them for the better. To support states in this work, the Aspen Education & Society Program has released a new report on teacher evaluation systems. The report synthesizes key findings from research, highlights best practices from states and districts across the country, and recommends practices that states and districts can incorporate into their evaluation and support systems to move them forward.
