Strengths of TKES observation instrument 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.

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.
