Do you think the evaluation system may change the culture in schools? • In one state, there are plans for principals themselves to be evaluated on their ability to be good evaluators, which may, the official said, help to temper any perverse incentives principals could have to assign inflated scores • Finally, one state framed the shift to identifying fewer exemplary teachers as quite positive, saying, ▫ "It’s going to come down to embracing the principles behind the model and being able to communicate and message that throughout schools and districts while really fostering a sense of trust, that this is not about - it’s not a gotcha, but this is about identifying, recognizing truly excellent practice, …seeing this as a collective effort to get better... knowledge is power."
Conclusions • An important goal for research and policy-makers is to investigate whether the right decisions are made based on evaluation scores • Few seem to be considering the negative unintended consequences of a system that may generally be perceived of as being arbitrary • There has been huge change in a very short time, and there may be good reasons why states are falling short in the effort to balance better systems and available resources—but, states are not necessarily making informed trade-offs • While most states seem to understand that implementation is key, they may not understand its implications for validity and reliability
