q2 · i? · qualitative · r1
The brief's qualitative interview study of five Illinois case study districts examines the ongoing challenge of incorporating student growth measures into evaluation systems, separate from the buy-in, instructional improvement, and principal burden challenges. No effect sizes are reported.
"In addition, it examines the on-going challenge of incorporating measures of student growth into teacher evaluation systems."
