General Resources on Teacher Evaluation
While all Race to the Top (RTTT) states must comply with the requirement of a four-level, rated teacher evaluation system, choice is allowed when determining numbers of observations, observable domains, specific measures for student achievement, and evidence of professional growth. The following resources offer multiple perspectives and sources for designing evaluation models for non-tested subject areas (i.e., music).
