The Measures of Effective Teaching project is a research partnership of academics, teachers, and education organizations committed to investigating better ways to identify and develop effective teaching.
The project set out to investigate how a set of measures could identify effective teaching fairly and reliably. It studied, among other measures, classroom observation instruments; pupil perception surveys that assess key characteristics of the classroom environment, including supportiveness, challenge, and order; and pupil achievement gains on state tests and on more cognitively challenging assessments.
It found that it is possible to develop reliable measures that identify great teaching and provides guidance on the best ways to achieve reliable classroom observations.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
