“Once again, Marzano and colleagues offer teachers and educational leaders a clear, concise, research-informed, translatable, and subsequently usable guide to not only help develop good teachers but also evaluate teachers in support of their continuous development and genuine growth. Given the new paradigm for teacher evaluation Marzano and colleagues offer, this is a must-read, particularly in light of the liberties granted back to schools by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). It is this set of freedoms educators should now exercise, and exercise wisely in terms of actually improving teacher development and evaluation, in order to help improve America’s schools.”
“At last, a comprehensive and practical guide to leverage the teacher appraisal process and impact professional growth. Marzano, Rains, Warrick, and Simms build on research to provide practical and straightforward strategies for teacher growth. This is a must-read for anyone charged with supporting teachers on their professional growth journeys. Improving Teacher Development and Evaluation thoroughly discusses almost every aspect of the teacher growth and appraisal process clearly and completely. It will become your go-to book as you’re working to help teachers grow!”
