Following a three - year study that involved about 3,000 teachers, analysts said the most accurate measure of a teacher's effectiveness was a combination of classroom observations by at least two evaluators, along with student scores counting for between 33 percent and 50 percent of the overall evaluation.

(Just as we did with classroom observations, to avoid generating a spurious correlation between student survey responses and achievement scores for the same group of students, we estimated the correlation across different classrooms of students taught by the same teacher.)

Cincinnati provided us with records of each classroom observation conducted between the 2000 — 01 and 2008 — 09 school years, including the scores that evaluators assigned for each specific practice element as a result of that observation.

In a regression to predict student test score gains using out of sample test score gains for the same teacher, student survey results, and classroom observations, there is virtually no relationship between test score gains and either classroom observations or student survey results.

In only 3 of the 8 models presented is there any statistically significant relationship between either classroom observations or student surveys and test score gains (I'm excluding the 2 instances were they report p <.1 as statistically significant).

To see how, note that researchers have found consistent, positive correlations between value - added and classroom observations scores.

Specifically, we explore whether the relationship between teachers» classroom observation scores and their students» mathematics achievement outcomes might be attributed to (mis) alignment between the types of instructional practices valued in classroom observations and the skills expected of students on standardized tests.

Our results thus provided suggestive evidence that the strength of the relationship between teachers» classroom observation scores and their students» test performance may in part be attributable to the sensitivity of the skills assessed during observation to those assessed on the test.

Kamras said the disconnect between the observations of Wysocki's classroom and her value - added scores was «quite rare.»
