Teacher Evaluation and Assessment

I just read an interesting article about the teacher evaluation and assessment process. Being involved in the business of providing OMR teacher evaluation forms for educational institutions and associations, I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be on the receiving end of such an evaluation. Judging by some of the comments I have read on Twitter, (using #scantron as search criteria) it sounds like students use the process to punish teachers. This would be a powerful tool to 'out' really bad teachers, but the question of objective fairness comes to mind and I'm sure teachers and speakers feel some concern about the evaluation process. I'd be curious to hear your experiences.

In the afore mentioned article "Teacher Evaluation & Assessment", educational experts, Anthony Cody and David B. Cohen answer questions about teacher avaluation and assesment. You may find this helpful in administrating your evaluation process. Read it here. Please feel free to return here and leave comments about your concerns regarding the evaluation process.

ScanTRON

I ran across this on YouTube and just had to post it here. Rick did a great job with this animation. I know you'll enjoy this,...if you're old enough to remember the Disney movie, TRON. It's nice to see someone make something interesting and fun out of something that usually seems quite boring. Hey, this is what we do! Design, print, scan and collect very important data from these forms. I think it's fun...don't you? ;-)
