The Beginning Teacher Evaluation Study, Phase II, was a research project on effective teaching behavior--what teachers do that significantly affects what and how pupils learn. The purposes of Phase II were to (1) develop an assessment system for measuring teacher and student behaviors and other factors which could influence each of them and their interrelationships and (2) generate hypotheses about the interrelationships among teacher and pupil behaviors and related factors. Subjects were 41 second grade and 54 fifth grade experienced teachers in eight school districts in California. Teacher reports of their instructional activities and procedures were used as one source of descriptive information about classrooms. Different kinds of "scores" from these reports were employed as measures of teaching performance for the analyses done in the study. (RC)
