Study Guide written by Melissa McBride, Pamela D. Tucker, and James H. Stronge
This ASCD Study Guide is designed to enhance your understanding of Linking Teacher Evaluation and Student Learning, an ASCD book published in April 2005. Written by Pamela D. Tucker and James H. Stronge, this book presents four different but proven ways to use measures of student achievement in teacher assessment systems. The reflective questions included for each chapter are designed to enhance your understanding of the book and to help you make connections between the text and your personal experiences.
You might use this guide as you read each chapter and begin to reflect on the information. You might also want to use the questions to stimulate conversations with colleagues in a study group format. Whether you use it alone or with colleagues, the questions should be seen as a starting point. The research and recommendations will surely stimulate many additional issues and questions unique to your own schools and districts.
