The participants of Building a Teaching Effectiveness Network (BTEN) have sought to build the type of integrated system of measurement described in Practical Measurement that is so often lacking in our educational systems.
Through the initiation and development of several Networked Improvement Communities, Carnegie has gained five key insight into what it takes to spur improvement activity in networks.
Carnegie addresses the challenge of teacher retention in its latest publication, Developing an Effective Feedback System, by presenting a feedback framework to help beginning teacher feel supported and engaged.
Dan Heath, author of Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard, at Carnegie’s Summit on Improvement in Education, presents an approach for working towards change in education.
A 90-Day Cycle conducted at the Carnegie Foundation explored the question of if teacher evaluation and teacher development efforts can and should be combined as aspects of a single system.
At a convening of experts in continuous improvement methodology hosted by Carnegie’s Advancing Teaching-Improving Learning identified four essential organizational conditions for continuous improvement to take root and thrive.
Teacher evaluation has evolved markedly over the past four years. Unsurprisingly, consequent proliferation of evaluation systems has also yielded a great deal of variation in terms of system design, structure, and coherence.
The 90-Day Cycle has emerged as an invaluable method for supporting improvement. The Handbook serves as a guide to the purpose and methods of this disciplined and structured form of inquiry.
Human capital is the largest single investment that K-12 districts make to influence student outcomes. A Human Capital Framework for a Stronger Teacher Workforce presents a framework to build a stronger teacher workforce.
The Carnegie Foundation's latest brief, Strategies for Enhancing the Impact of Post-observation Feedback for Teachers, examines the struggle to use post-observation conversations effectively to support and develop teachers.
