Zusammenfassung:	Teacher evaluation is a necessary step in ensuring good schooling. Ironically, poor evaluation is commonly accepted. And in too many cases - according to teachers, administrators, and researchers - teacher evaluation is disparaged or even ignored altogether. Kenneth Peterson contends that current evaluation is something done to teachers, rather than the cooperative effort of a group of professionals - which is why practice rarely improves as a result of evaluation. Teacher Evaluation challenges existing methods of evaluation and offers fresh ideas and techniques that can turn any school's evaluation practice into a highly productive process for all involved This comprehensive workbook explores the stages of teacher choice and teacher responsibility for evaluation. It shows you how to help your teachers become more involved and in control of their own evaluation. You'll explore different data sources and new social power relations, and discover new ways of thinking about teacher evaluation. Peterson's techniques will help you provide a source of acknowledgment and reward for teachers; reassure outside audiences, such as parents and the community; highlight exemplary practice for emulation; and point to good practice to guide teacher education. Here are substantive, field-tested suggestions and practices that you can put to use immediately to make your teacher evaluation systems more effective
