Building Teacher Evaluation Systems: Learning From Leading Efforts

This report from the Aspen Institute is part of three reports recently released by the Institute to provide policymakers and education leaders with information on how teacher evaluation and performance management systems work and to use the resulting evaluation results with other information, practices and policy levers to improve teaching and learning. This report is a synthesis of Aspen Institute’s profiles of the teacher evaluation and performance management system efforts conducted by the District of Columbia Public Schools (Teaching and Learning Framework 2.0 and IMPACT) and Achieve First. The report discussed commonalities and differences between the two models and lessons learned.
