Coordinated Human Capital Reforms With Professional Learning at the Center

Thirty-three states recently passed teacher evaluation reform policies aimed at increasing teaching effectiveness and student learning. However, for those policies to succeed, the right conditions must be in place.

The National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality (TQ Center) has developed three new practical resources to help states and school districts build meaningful professional learning into the design and implementation of teacher evaluation systems.

Three Ways Evaluation Systems Can Propel Continuous Improvements of Teaching and Learning

SHARED UNDERSTANDINGOF EFFECTIVE PRACTICE Helping develop shared understandings of the contours of effective teaching in every school community

EVIDENCE-BASED FEEDBACKProviding timely, relevant, and suf�cient evidence-based feedback to teachers on the effectiveness of their practice

LEARNING & COLLABORATION MEASURESAccounting for teachers’ engagement in learning and collaboration by including measures of them as part of the evaluation

With these three elements in place, the new teacher evaluation systems taking shape around the country can empower better instruction.

The TQ Center supports regional comprehensive centers and state education agencies by providing tools, resources, and technical assistance to improve teacher quality, particularly for high-need students and students with disabilities.

These elements are key for strengthening teacher evaluation and professional development reforms. However, for teachers to meet the demands of new college- and career-ready standards, states and districts need to develop coordinated human capital reforms with professional learning at the center.
