The Relationship Between Standards-Based Teacher Evaluation Scores and Student Achievement

This article from the Consortium for Research in Education by Anthony T. Milanowski, Steven M. Kimball, and Brad White is a replication and Extensions at Three Sites. This research based article demonstrates that teachers who are evaluated using a standards based framework typically realize higher student achievement.

The Thoughtful Classroom Teacher Effectiveness Framework 

This is the NY State Department of Education Handbook on evaluation that connects Marzano's framework with reflective practices and activities for teachers designed to improve practices. It provides teachers with questions to evaluate their own practices as a teacher. Although the tool may seem long and cumbersome, the reflection components can be broken down. For example, if you were focusing on building a culture of thinking and learning in your classroom, you could just use the reflection section provided in dimension 4. You might also consider having a peer reflect on your teaching practices and use the tool to guide their feedback.
