How should teachers/educators be held accountable for student learning?

It has undoubtedly been proved that effective teachers play an active role in student learning and enables them to meet difficult standards. Therefore teachers should be held accountable to some level, though student is responsible for their own learning. Firstly to ensure the improvement of teacher quality appropriate qualification check, careful monitoring, teacher evaluation, support for initial teachers including initial license and system of certification and compensation should be developed.

Secondly, teachers should be held accountable at certain levels after being appointed. They should be accountable at the district level through standard-based assessments of students, at the national level to ensure that the teacher is capable and has gained the required knowledge, at the state level through licensing process with a provisional license period, compensation system, and through teacher evaluation.

How should administrators and managers evaluate the effectiveness of instruction for learner/student achievement relative to national standards?

The best way by which administrators evaluate effectiveness of instruction relative to national standards is through teacher assessment performance. A performance assessment for beginning teachers also helps to improve their practice.

How can you measure the success of a training or presentation? What qualitative measures can be used?

We can measure the success of training through several ways. We can estimate the success by the student numbers, which indirectly represents that the training is tackling a requirement and the design and methodology is meeting expectation. Efficiency, which is actually the amount of time to complete training, and also the performance schedule, is a good means of measuring success of training.

However, certain qualitative measures are a fine indication of the success of a training or presentation. We can evaluate its success by the reactions and feedbacks, in terms of learning and behavior change as well as performance change. A successful training will produce positive reactions, which will influence the learning and reflect in the quality of work.
