Teachers’ Perceptions Of An Alternative Evaluation Model, Karen A. Chase
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

One of the flaws pertains to the evaluation system’s inability to differentiate feedback based on teacher ability. For this reason, the New Jersey Department of Education has provided school districts the option to use an alternative evaluation model, The Reflective Practice Protocol. This option is available to teachers who have been rated as highly effective. The purpose of this …

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

Indeed, teacher preparation and professional development is an extremely important issue facing our educational system today. There is a great deal of research that supports the idea that the most …
