- Summary:
-
In five junior high schools and five senior high schools in Utah, the "voting method" was used to identify four groups of teachers, including (a) a group nominated by each principal as the most effective teachers in his school, (b) a group nominated by current students as their favorite teachers, (c) a group nominated by graduates as the teachers who taught them the most, and (d) a control group selected randomly from the remaining teachers. These different judges of effective teaching were found to nominate different teachers, with very low rank-order correlations between the top ten teachers in each group in each school. By using standard evaluative instruments, different judges were also found to favor a different group of teachers. Principals rated the teachers in group (a) the highest; the teachers in group (c) rated themselves the highest; and students rated the teachers in group (b) the highest. No judge rated the teachers in the control group the highest. This finding was seen as partially validating the results of the "voting method" as used in this study. (Author/JG)
