    RESULTS-ORIENTED TEACHING

    How Better Teacher & Student Assessment Can Power Up Learning

    Washington New Millennium Initiative

    Teachers in this initiative, one of several projects from the Center for Teaching Quality, draw on their classroom experiences and more than a year of research in this report, which focuses on how to create a results-oriented teaching profession. They advocate for new measures of student learning and teaching quality as well as systems that spread the expertise of effective teachers. Recommendations include a two-tiered assessment system with improved national- and state-level standardized tests; a two-tiered teacher evaluation system with improved school-level annual evaluations; and implementing results-oriented professional learning communities.
