Featuring the same practical guidelines for ridding schools of incompetent teachers as the 1984 edition, this new edition incorporates substantially revised material on three topics: criteria and information sources for evaluating teaching effectiveness, remediation procedures, and grounds for dismissal. The book presents an eight-step systematic, organizational approach to resolving several interrelated problems: (1) the legal barriers to dismissing tenured teachers for classroom incompetence; (2) the technical problems of evaluating teacher effectiveness; and (3) the human obstacles, chiefly supervisors' unwillingness to discharge teacher evaluation, remediation, and dismissal responsibilities. The eight steps are: (1) establishing teaching excellence as a high district priority; (2) adopting and publishing reasonable teacher evaluation criteria; (3) adopting sound procedures for determining whether teachers satisfy these criteria; (4) providing unsatisfactory teachers with remediation and a reasonable time to improve; (5) ensuring that appraisers have the requisite competencies; (6) providing appraisers with necessary resources; (7) holding appraisers accountable for evaluating and dealing with incompetent teachers; and (8) providing incompetent teachers with a fair hearing prior to making the dismissal decision. The final chapter recommends strategies for creating environmental conditions conducive to success. A commitment to ongoing leadership is essential. An appendix contains the District Evaluation Practices Inventory, designed to be used in conjunction with this handbook. (143 references) (MLH)

There is a major emphasis in the USA and Australia and some other countries to improve student learning outcomes through merit pay programs. The research shows that merit pay has been almost universally a failure to raise student learning levels. This book provides numerous examples of how recognition is meeting the intrinsic needs of teachers around the world. More than 50% of the school districts in both K-12 schools and community colleges in the USA were found not to have such recognition programs. Leadership is needed at all levels to make this become a reality. Every exceptional teacher should receive a special 'thank you' from their boards and administrators. Teachers, administrators and governing boards need to work together to make this happen. Board members will find this book provides a major pathway to improving teacher morale and student outcomes. Parents will also become more cognizant about their quality teachers and the impact they are making and should, therefore, demand that all teachers be hired and retained at that high level for their students.
