More Than Scores: Assessing the Future of Teacher Evaluations



Teacher evaluations are here to stay. But what is their purpose and what are teachers doing to make them their own? Next month, EWA will hold a journalists-only seminar to examine how new collaborations and methodologies are bringing greater depth to the evaluation process, and how that information is being used to improve both the teaching profession and student learning.

The seminar will be held Oct. 10-11 at the University of Chicago. A limited number oftravel scholarships are available for qualified journalists. Space is limited -- and filling up quickly! -- so register today.Have a question, comment or concern for the Educated Reporter? Email EWA public editor Emily Richmond at erichmond@ewa.org.
