Presented by the Southwest Comprehensive Center with the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality

August 16-17, 2011
South Lake Tahoe, NV

The Southwest Comprehensive Center in collaboration with the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality sponsored the fourth in a series of regional meetings on Educator Evaluation Systems.

Targeted for state policymakers responsible for the design, development and implementation of multiple-measure educator evaluation systems, this meeting provided information and opportunities for state teams to discuss emergent research, promising practices and strategies related to the design of teacher and principal evaluation systems and uses of the resulting data. Specific topics included systems change, scaling up, training and evaluation. Opportunities for state team planning and SW cross-state communication and collaboration were key components of this event.
