This article describes how evidence-based theory fuels an audit culture for teacher education in the USA, placing faculty under monitoring and surveillance, and severely constraining judgment, discretion, and professional decision-making. The national education reform efforts, Race to the Top and Common Core State Standards, demand fealty to evidence-based standards, while the Teacher Performance Assessment (EdTPA) requires teacher candidates to videotape their classroom lessons and submit the 'evidence' for review by external reviewers. The history of this theory, findings on the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS), a discussion between EdTPA and teacher education colleges, and examples of how faculty are expected to provide evidence of effectiveness, are all included in the article.Introduction: value, data, and evidence results in the Teacher Performance Assessment (EdTPA)
This chapter describes technological disruptions in higher education that pose challenges and offer opportunities to college and university students, faculty, and administrators. It provides examples of innovative responses being explored by 2‐year and 4‐year higher education institutions.
Business Intelligence (BI) performance dashboards are reliant computer software solutions that enable leaders or companies to gain insight into its critical operations through reporting applications and analysis tools. These management tools gauge performance and progress toward specific operational goals. Fortuitously, educational leaders now have access to dashboards which can be designed and developed to address a wide range of objectives, from monitoring whether online course delivery outcomes are being met by the learner. Conversely, online learners can view their performance with a course dashboard that compares their performance vis-à-vis peers. By merging performance dashboards with online delivery, it is expected that performance goals will be impacted positively. Encyclopedia of Strategic Leadership and Management topics for this chapter include, but are not limited to, the following: Management, the ways CEOs lead, performance management, managing creativity, and decision making and leadership.
