According to the National Education Association the teacher assessment and evaluation is used to strengthen the knowledge, skills dispositions, and classroom, practices of professional education. The aim of the evaluation to promote student growth and learning. Comprehensive systems that support teacher evaluation will foster professionally and instructionally. I will give an overview evaluation systems failures supported national education association and my personal experiences in the professional. In addition, I will elaborate and critique North Carolina evaluation system for teachers. However, evaluation systems have had negative impacts on current systems. Current systems have failed to improve teacher practice and enhance student growth and learning. Summative observations performed by school principals lack training on observations. Many administrators do not receive continuous professional development from their local district. This impacts teacher’s observations because principals can produce actionable feedback. Using evaluation checklist are often meaningless when the checklist are designed to depict good practice. “Failure to prepare is preparing to fail”. (Nate & Gallimore 2010 p.67) Evaluation systems failed to identify teacher professional growth and provide professional learning opportunities tailored to the instructional need. All teachers have different strength and weakness instructional. Therefore, teachers should attend professional development for
strengths and weaknesses of the Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) from the perspective of a future school leader. As a future leader the main point is to understand the purpose of TKES, which is to increase achievement for all students, identify areas of strength and growth for teachers and individualize professional growth based on specific results or needs.

The Teacher Keys Effectiveness System uses numerous data sources to engage teachers and continually
on our new evaluation system. One of the biggest difference for this year, is that we will be using student tests scores as part of our evaluation. Another change will be that teachers are now going to be picking two student growth objects to focus on, and two professional development growth plans. This current system is very aligned to what Robert Marzo suggested in his article on the two purposes of teacher evaluation. Our new evaluation system will put teacher growth and student growth on top of
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015 built off the progress of this reform by urging states to explicitly define and improve teacher quality assessments. Today, states are tasked with identifying the goals and components of an effective, evidenced-based teacher assessment system. Attracting high-quality novice teachers, retaining and rewarding effective veteran teachers, and improving developing teachers constitute the three main goals of a rigorous an effective teacher evaluation system.

teachers would agree that our current teacher evaluation system is not helping teachers grow as educators. Many teachers agree that when they get evaluated, is at the end of the school year for end of the year evaluation. At that time, teachers are only thinking about summer and packing up the classroom. Even if they receive feedback, they are likely to put it off until next school year, which they hardly come back to and reflect. This current system doesn’t do a great job at actually providing feedback
and deserve evaluation processes that accurately identify their strengths as well as areas in which they need to improve. Teachers want to know more than just whether the job they are doing is satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Richer evaluation systems based on multiple measures will do just that.
According to a report from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (2011), states, districts, and schools all across the United States are busy developing or implementing teacher evaluation systems. One can trace
Comparison of Administrator Evaluation Instruments
The Michigan Council for Educator Effectiveness (MCEE) recommended administrator (Principal) evaluation instrument and the Marzano Principal Evaluation Instrument have several similarities. Principally, they both seek to ascertain the competence of instructors to ensure excellent performance among learners. In addition, they both have one of their key objectives that an evaluation of principals on a strong foundation guided by current research. The
Introduction
“There is an unequivocal correlation between student achievement and teacher quality.” Direct supervision and evaluation of teachers should effectively address teacher quality, and thereby effect student learning and achievement. Bret Range, an associate professor of educational leadership at the University of Wyoming has written two papers and maintains a blog related to teacher supervision. His research indicates, “the key to teacher development lies within well-planned teacher supervisory
However, the evaluation process differs from teachers who are new to the system from those who have been teaching there for years. There is no feedback or expectation for growth for veteran teachers.
Jorgensen and Hoffman (2003) described how under the administration of former President George W. Bush, the law No Child-Left Behind (NCLB) was enacted to create a process of accountability for school. Even under the utopic premises, that they would close the gap on the learning process for
even future teachers.
The use of state tests as evaluation tools has become a stressor for teachers. Teachers are constantly striving to be the best and with the weight of the evaluation on their shoulder, their job has become harder and even more stressful. Using these tests to evaluate create nothing but problems for teachers, as they do not effectively evaluate teachers and their true capabilities.
Teachers are under constant evaluation. Principals, parents and other teachers are constantly
