Surveys show not all teachers oppose use of test scores to rate teaching
By: John Myers / April 14, 2010
A spate of teacher surveys is giving policymakers a clearer picture of what frontline educators think of emerging school reforms. But as Learning Point researchers Ellen Behrstock and Jane Coggshell point out: educators are often at odds with researchers and policymakers over how to evaluate learning and spark effective teaching.
This disconnect is poised to heat up as Illinois districts forge ahead with changes in teacher evaluations. By law, student performance data must become a “significant” factor for teacher ratings in Chicago by 2013 and all districts by 2016. Yet teachers have said loudly and clearly in two recent national surveys—one conducted by Learning Point and Public Agenda—that standardized tests are an inferior way to evaluate them.
Taking teachers’ views seriously could make or break the effort. Says Coggshell, “It’s not just listening to teachers...but really educating them on what are the benefits [of better evaluations] and what is involved and how much more work will it be for them. It’s a two-way conversation that needs to occur, and occur often.”

Says Coggshell, “It’s not just listening to teachers...but really educating them on what are the benefits [of better evaluations] and what is involved and how much more work will it be for them. It’s a two-way conversation that needs to occur, and occur often.”
Local union leaders will have some say over the exact mix of data—from interim assessments to grades—that will be used to measure student performance. But test scores are sure to be part of the mix, although only 12 percent of teachers rated scores as an excellent indicator in the Learning Point survey, which included teachers from Illinois.
Another survey by Scholastic and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, in which nearly 40,000 teachers were polled, found that 92 percent of teachers say regular in-classroom assessments are either very important or essential in measuring student performance. Only 27 percent of those polled said the same about standardized tests.
Teachers will need to work fast to have their voices heard on evaluation changes in Illinois. Lawmakers granted state administrators the power to design “model evaluation plans” that districts must use if union negotiations do not produce an alternative within 180 days.
Gail Purkey, a spokesman for the Illinois Federation of Teachers, expects district leaders to negotiate in good faith.
“It’s impossible to listen to teachers too much,” Purkey says. “Teachers are in contact with the students the most. So, they have real knowledge of the challenges students face and how to effectively meet those needs.”
In Chicago, where time pressure is even greater, union officials are hopeful that stalled negotiations over evaluations will resume in the coming weeks. The city's teachers have experienced a number of controversial changes to their profession, from a boom in charters and turnaround schools to performance pay pilots.
“I think policymakers are listening to teachers, but I also think they are listening a whole lot more to each other and trying to please the business community,” says Connee Fitch-Blanks, coordinator for the Chicago Teachers Union Quest Center.
Still, she says joint union-board initiatives like Fresh Start and the Teacher Advancement Program are proof that administrators and teachers can listen to each other and hammer out school improvement plans. Moreover, Fitch-Blanks says the district’s Teacher Excellence pilot project, which has introduced a new tool to help principals and teachers dive deeper into the evaluation of classroom teaching, is off to a good start.
But much of the heavy lifting on Chicago’s evaluation changes is yet to come, from negotiating changes in how remediation will work for teachers with poor ratings, to settling on a mix of other factors that will impact ratings.
In that work, the role of test scores could offer a stark indicator for how seriously teachers’ opinions are taken.
To be sure, teachers do not entirely discount the value of state tests. Some 44 percent in the Learning Point survey rated tests as a good measure of their success. Three-fourths also rated “how much their students learn compared to students in other schools” as a good marker, suggesting further support for some sort of competitive, objective appraisal.
But few teachers, especially younger ones, rated test scores as an excellent indicator of good instruction.
According to Learning Point, new teachers are particularly wary of having test scores used in their evaluation. Half of those with less than five years of experience say scores are fair, at best, or poor measures, compared to about 30 percent for instructors with 20 years of experience.
Surveyed teachers were somewhat mixed in what they think are good indicators of skill. But nearly all agreed that student engagement is a good sign—albeit a tough one to measure.
“We have successfully shifted from the attitude of ‘I did my job and therefore I am a good teacher’ to ‘it’s not just that I taught but did my students learn,’” says Coggshell from Learning Point. “But teachers also understand that the devil is in the details.”
She says students learn not just in the classroom but from parents, friends and others outside of the school—factors that teachers expect their evaluators to consider.
“It’s important to understand the impediments to learning,” she says. “As states sort out [teacher evaluations] it will take some convincing that it’s being done fairly.”
Support not pay
In general, surveyed teachers downplay the role of financial incentives and emphasize support structures for improving instruction. Only half of the teachers surveyed by Learning Point say increasing their salaries would lead to stronger schools. On the other hand, researchers found:
- About 60 percent say they would improve if they had more opportunities to master the art of differentiating classroom instruction.
- Roughly 70 percent said that if they were transferring to another school they would prefer to take a job at one where instructional planning took place in tight collaboration with colleagues.
- Another 70 percent—especially new instructors—say they want regular, detailed feedback on their teaching from principals.
Behrstock notes, however, that a third of teachers are leery of the ratings principals and other administrators would give them. Purkey from the IFT says the desire for principal support, coupled with the suspicion of principal ratings, only show how important it is for the state to also beef up evaluation and training for school administrators and instructional leaders.
While teachers were generally indifferent when asked about pay, many did indicate at least some interest in performance-based pay. About 70 percent of new teachers and 63 percent of veterans said they favored, at least somewhat, paying teachers more for “consistently working harder and putting in more time and effort than others.”
More specifically, nearly half of new teachers believe their instruction could improve if pay were based partly on test scores. (Just a third of their more seasoned colleagues agree.)
Again, Coggshell stresses that the way districts rollout such changes greatly affects the way teachers adopt them. She notes that a focus group with Chicago teachers involved in the Teacher Advancement Program—the district’s pilot program in merit pay—suggests the program has created at least some jealousy and animosity among participants.
Limits on listening
As Education Week recently pointed out, President Obama has signaled interest in hearing from teachers on a regular basis. His blueprint for a revamped Elementary and Secondary Education Act calls on states to report on teachers’ satisfaction with working conditions.
Purkey says that only makes sense. “Going forward, I think it’s good to be taking the temperature of teachers regularly. Not just to survey them, but to use the information to come up with school improvement strategies based on [the knowledge of] people in the field.”
But even if policymakers begin taking teachers’ concerns to heart, many issues will rest solely on the ability of districts to find funding. Two-thirds of the teachers surveyed by Learning Point say reducing class sizes by 5 would be very effective at improving instruction.
That’s an expensive prospect, and Chicago teachers are barred from bargaining over class size. Research shows clear learning gains for K-3 grades when class sizes are reduced. But the impact on upper grades is less pronounced, notes Behrstock.
“But it’s about workloads and morale for teachers, not necessarily their instructional effectiveness,” she adds.
On this front, there may be non-monetary ways to ameliorate the effects of larger classes. Teachers emphasize that their effectiveness is not only impacted by how many students are in class, but also who is in the class. About 68 percent of teachers say they believe their ability to teach would be greatly enhanced if troublesome kids are removed from their classrooms.
Also, Behrstock says new teachers are more likely to struggle with teaching students of different abilities.
If districts are forced to hike class sizes, she adds, administrators can take a variety of steps to soften the blow—from hiring less-expensive teacher aides to cutting down on the number of papers teachers are asked to grade.
Regardless of the pressure—financial or instructional—Behrstock and Coggshell say policymakers need to at least improve their dialog with teachers.

Surveys show teachers not opposed to using test scores to rate t
Your headline is very misleading - it suggests that the most important finding of the survey is that teachers support (that's what "not opposed to" means) test score-based evaluation, when your excellent, detailed article clearly shows that they have numerous important concerns about the practice. Headlines are a key communication tool - they are all that many people look at and help form the basis for public thinking on vital public issues. There are so many other phrases that could have been used - this is the kind of thing that makes people accuse Catalyst of bias in your editorial viewpoint in favor of the business perspective.
Surveys show not all teachers oppose use of test scores to rate
You have got to be kidding me - now it's worse! Here's what I'm going to title my blog post - "Not all Catalyst headlines are misleading".
Surveys show not all teachers oppose use of test scores to rate
His research will refute your headline dear Catalyst. You had a miss here.
Surveys show not all teachers oppose use of test scores to rate
it's true that teachers have concerns about using test scores to evaluate their work. But in looking at the numbers, it is surprising that to a larger degree than one might expect--teachers are not completely opposed to doing so, if other factors are taken into account.
As noted, the article is detailed, comprehensive and explores all the factors--something a headline simply cannot do.
Surveys show not all teachers oppose use of test scores to rate
I am fine with having testing to demonstrate my students learn and that I am an effective teacher ****IF**** the tests are developed and administered by people who are competent and understand what is being taught. In other words, if I am teaching students about evolution, don't give them a test on chemistry, then act all shocked and disgusted that they haven't "learned" anything, of course they haven't! They aren't studying what is being tested!
If someone would like to take a copy of my quarter plans and develop a test based upon that, have at it. But I already do that when I give Quarter exams.... Soooo..... Yeah.
Surveys show not all teachers oppose use of test scores to rate
so if parents refuse to send their children to school and CPS does nothig for students 20-20-40-50-90 days out, is the teaher still responsible for thier test scores?
re: attendance counts
It seems like there are some things that schools should be accountable for--i.e. student attendance--and others that make more sense for measuring teacher effectiveness. Why can't we design accountability systems for teachers that adjust for student attendance and just hold the school accountable for that. That way there's pressure at the school level to keep close tabs on attendance, but a teachers value-added ratings are focused on what she/he can actually control in the classroom.
Surveys show not all teachers oppose use of test scores to rate
when parents refuse to send their children to school--let them stay home becasue they do not feel like going to school, or they have to take care of their siblings....there are no truant officers. Why are teachers responsible for students whoes parents do nothing to get them to school, parents who don't even care?
Surveys show not all teachers oppose use of test scores to rate
Teachers, God bless them, can't function without directives from their unions. If it were otherwise, at least some teachers would acknowledge they are lost and searching for the respect they enjoyed back in the day. They won't find that respect for obvious reasons. Among them? The world changed and teachers failed to notice.
Surveys show not all teachers oppose use of test scores to rate
The world changed to a place where people stab each other in the back for a crumb and a chance to please the principal. Where you get ahead by making other people look bad instead of working to make yourself look good. Where you sell out your colleagues so you can have the "good" kids put in your room. Where the principal makes life a living hell for anyone who asks for help with disruptive children. Yeah we know how the world has changed and you think we don't need unions? You're right - this union doesn't do anything, but I hope you are always the principal's favorite and that s/he never leaves because a new one might not think you're so wonderful. Then you'll wish you had a union to protect your due process rights asd the new guy/gal escorts you out the door.
Yeah the world has changed into a cutthroat dog eat dog place. Just hope you never have to deal with someone who doesn't like you because of your religion, race or sexual orientation. I've seen it happen and it wasn't pretty. Good luck. I know you are a terrific teacher who makes sure your students take personal responsibility and have no excuses for their shortcomings. I know you teach them critical thinking and how to take standardized tests. They are very lucky to have a teacher who believes in hard work and positive results. I'd just like to know how they deal with the other adults who disappoint them. Thank God you care.

Agha Dilbar
My Open Letter (Blog) has been sent Nine Lak (900000) to
International Community for the welfare of Humanity till today. I Agha Dilbar authorize Newspapers, Magazines, Internet, to Publish and Radio, T.V. Channels to broadcast this letter all round the World.
Website: http://aghadilbar.webs.com/
(See 600 latest pictures of Obama in Photo Gallery)
Dear President Barrack Obama
the Great Leader of the World
I Agha Dilbar have sent Mr. President 100 registered research Letters
(1000 new ideas to develop America and to Change the World for Peace
and Prosperity)
Through Embassy of USA Islamabad till today and also direct sent
these registered Letters to Whitehouse Washington DC 20500.These
letters have been written on the guidelines of CHANGE WE NEED. And
these letters are about the Common Men Problems of respected American
Peoples and their Solutions. To end, Economic Recession, Unemployment
and to Finish War, all round the World for Peace and Prosperity. In
these letters I have sent one thousand new scientific Planning
/Suggestions, about every walk of life for Peace through Friendship
Progress and Prosperity all over the World.
My dear Barack Obama, the great leader of the world, my friend, my
brother, provide an opportunity to Agha Dilbar to pay an official
visit to America, that we two brothers sit together and by halt this
horrible war. if this war continues for 10 20 or 50 –year, it will
never end.
In this war 1-million people have died from 9/11 till today, if this
war continues, it will become the 111- World War.200-Million people
would die, if 111-World War is triggered) can take out 6.5 billion
people of the World from abyss of destruction .We two brothers Barack
Obama+ Agha Dillbar can put them on the road to Progress and
Prosperity through Peace.
Dear President Barrack Obama considers, from 9/11 till today, America
has conducted many war operations in connection with War on Terror,
resulting the circle of war has spread hundred times. Millions
innocent persons have died.
In this war. Many have been rendered homeless. One Lak (10000) war
affected youth joined the army of Al-Qaida and Talban by the help of
anti American countries have begun gorilla war in a horrible manner.
It is the result of wrong war strategy. I Agha Dilbar desire to solve
all above mentioned problems in a meeting with President Barrack Obama
by adopting new revolutionary planning by bringing an end to present
gorilla war in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. As a result the World
can enter in a peaceful, advanced and progressive world, May it be so!
I Agha Dilbar have a new War Strategy to achieve success through Table
Talk between Talban, Pakistan and American Gov. 90% of Talban that are
fighting against Pak Army belong to Swat and Tribal Areas of NWFP. I
can provide America all realistic facts in such manner that their
implementation could convert these Talban into Patriotic Citizens of
Pakistan.
In this War Strategy Pakistan Gov will never send his Heavy
Artillery, Tanks, Cannons and Air craft in war. In this way 5-million
persons will never Displaced. In the end Talban by their will
handover, their Weapons to Pakistan Gov, they will come to Table Talk
and Suicide Bombing will come to an end in Pakistan. Through this War
Strategy Pakistani and American Gov can save expenses on war. Through
this planning American and Pakistani Gov can utilize their saving on
war budgets for development of Schools, Hospitals, Colonies, Markets,
Industry, Roads, Bridges, Dams, Canals of Swat and Tribal Areas of
NWFP that are war affected.
Due to wrong war strategies of the American and NATO forces.
The war on terror is getting worst mainly due to use of air craft,
tanks, Cannons.
Because nine innocent people are killed for a single terrorist this
way in these circumstances thousands
of innocent people lose their life or properties and any other source of income.
In the result many people join terrorist or become suicide bomber. As
they think there is no other way to take revenge of the innocents
killing of their relatives these are the basic reasons that hundreds
of suicides are generated very quickly and easily in Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Iraq particularly who further kill thousands of other
innocent public.
On account of present war strategy, Billion Dollars are being wasted yearly.
This war can cause Fall of America instead of continuation of war; my
best suggestion for America must keep his Supper Power on the World
and should conquer the World instead of war, but by his No-1
scientific technology spending on agriculture, industry, trade,
education, scientific development and tourism, all round the World.

America till 2016. And on my return of my official visit from America
the world will be set on the way of implementing the CHANGE WE NEED.
Live with Dignity and Die with Grace.
It has been extraordinary to read and hear, some of the things I did
my decision alone by the voice of God, who called me in my heart.
Mystery of success to rule the World
Peace through friendship progress and prosperity.
With greetings and best wishes.
Thanks
