Recent research reports by the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality (TQ Center) include NYSUT's TED system as an example of a high-quality teacher evaluation system.
The TQ Center is working to ensure teacher evaluation reform succeeds by helping states and school districts build meaningful professional learning into the design and implementation of teacher evaluation systems; TED, NYSUT's system of Teacher Evaluation and Development, was created by six labor/management Innovation Teams across New York State to integrate evaluations in a continuum that advances teacher practice and student learning.
