ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Gardner-Webb University
Since the early 1800s, various educational experts and philosophers have contributed to an ever-growing database regarding teacher evaluation. This valuable research has been instrumental in shaping teacher evaluation in our public schools as we know it today. While much research has taken place in public schools, there has been limited research conducted in the private Christian school setting. This research was in response to the limited research data available and sought to identify best practices regarding teacher evaluation in the Christian school setting. The T.E.S.T. (Teacher Evaluation, Support, and Training) program is a teacher evaluation program specifically designed for implementation in the Christian school setting. A program evaluation of the T.E.S.T. program was conducted in a Christian school following the CIPP model of evaluation. Findings from this study support the conclusion that teachers at Christian School A perceived that the T.E.S.T. program had a positive impact on their professional growth while also providing a means of teacher accountability in the Christian school setting. The findings also demonstrated that the T.E.S.T. program had a more neutral impact on the spiritual life of individual teachers. It is recommended that school administrators annually review their school's evaluation program and provide teachers adequate time and resources needed to fully participate in the evaluation process.
