An Analysis of Alternate Models

As the Preamble to Chapter 4 has stated, this chapter will attempt to summarize presented evaluation models and contrast them based on three different, but related, ways of looking at them: 1. A summary display of the purposes of each model—which is placed under one of three headings: formative; formative and summative; and summative 2. An examination of each model aligned against the principles contained in the Joint Committee’s Standards to determine main areas of strengths or weaknesses 3. A discretionary value judgment about the worth of each of these models aligned against the main uses of teacher evaluation models for decision-making
