Washoe County Teacher Performance Evaluation System: A Case Study
Abstract:
In 1997, Washoe County School District and the local teachers' association initiated a process to change teacher evaluation. Following a nationwide search for best practices in teacher evaluation, the district decided to design their new system using the ASCD standards Framework for Teaching (Danielson, 1996). The system was fully implemented in 2000. This case study describes the process of adopting the new evaluation system, including a brief background on the district, its policy context, experiences with the prior system, and why the evaluation reform was initiated. The teaching standards, evidence, rubrics, and operation of the adopted evaluation system are also reviewed. The study concludes with an overview of program implementation, costs and system alignment.
