  3. Lessons and Recommendations • States must to connect the dots. Overhauling evaluation systems is expensive and time-consuming work – not using the results in meaningful ways is counterproductive and wasteful. • Differentiating teacher performance isn’t going to happen just because states and districts have a new evaluation rubric.

  4. Lessons and Recommendations • All teachers need feedback – not just low-performers. • The Common Core should not be used as an argument for suspending teacher evaluations. • Special education and non-tested grades and subjects cannot be an afterthought.

  5. Lessons and Recommendations • While there is a place for collective responsibility for school performance, school wide measures cannot be a substitute for individual measures of performance. • States need to require and implement measures that they can demonstrate correlate with student achievement – not allow teacher evaluation to become a watered-down process.
