McREL (Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning) developed a teacher evaluation system for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
This manual provides participants with an overview of McREL’s Teacher Evaluation System, including its premises, professional teaching standards, and implementation steps. It outlines session outcomes, community-building activities, and tools for self-assessment and reflection. The guide also includes appendices with references and contact information for McREL.
The mission is to make a difference in the quality of education and learning for all through excellence in applied research, product development, and service.
Participants will learn about professional teaching standards, the rationale for the system, the supporting instruments and forms, and the web-based application.
