Teacher Performance Appraisal in North Carolina: Preferences and Practices.

Holdzkom, David

Phi Delta Kappan, v72 n10 p782-85 Jun 1991

A central concern of Joseph Milner's February 1991 "Kappan" article critiquing the North Carolina Teacher Performance Assessment Instrument is that teacher evaluation will drive teaching. He errs in confusing essential skills with basic skills, ignoring all teacher evaluation's purposes except instructional improvement, and claiming the method deprofessionalizes teachers.
