Description¶

The brief demonstrates monitoring a district-wide evaluation overhaul by surveying the educators subject to it. It "draws on survey data from more than 19,000 teachers and nearly 800 principals and assistant principals to measure their views of REACH," tracking satisfaction, perceived practice change, fairness concerns, stress, and effort across years. This lets implementers detect declining enthusiasm and implementation problems early, as the author notes year two is "a crucial year for ironing out the details of implementation."
