How do we measure teacher quality? What are direct evidences of student learning? How can we avoid the pitfalls of past
evaluation systems? How can we create an evaluation system that
becomes a useful tool for teachers and school leaders to increase student achievement?
How can we ensure lessons learned from Arkansas districts and other states making real progress?
How do we find the time?
