Editorial Reviews

Review

“The book title says it all-this resource provides teacher evaluators with a quick and easy process. I wish I had access to this document when I was beginning my administrative career. It would have been immensely valuable. Meaningful teacher evaluations are important. A mere checklist doesn’t provide the teacher with adequate performance feedback. If evaluators want to coach teachers to improve, this book is an excellent resource and can be put to immediate use.” (Harriet Gould, Principal )

This review is from: Writing Meaningful Teacher Evaluations - Right Now! Second Edition The Principal's Quick-Start Reference Guide (Paperback)

I found this book to be a great resource for Administrators who need to write Teacher Evaluations. This resource would also be extremely helpful for Graduate Students who are taking Administration courses. The comments are appropriate. The "pats on the back" are explicit with details. This book is most helpful when comments for improvement need to be written. The negative scenerios come with a bank of suggestions for improvement. The CD made my life easier. I am sure that you will keep this book within arm's reach as I have done.
