Review lesson plans and classroom records. Lesson plans do reflect how well a teacher has considered instructional goals. Look at classroom records, such as tests and assignments, to establish how well a teacher has linked lesson plans, instruction, and testing.
Carry out a "value-added" analysis of each student individually. Value-added models are introduced reforms that are use statistical techniques to measure student growth. They use one or more years of prior student test scores and classroom characteristics in order to adjust the pre-existing differences among students when evaluating student test performance. The result of these standardized tests administered to student can be used to indicate the relative link between teacher evaluation and student performance.
Use multiple years of student achievement data in value-added estimation. Take student achievement data of students to establish their progress based on their test performance relative to their peers in a given subject from year to year. Consider that sometimes the tested content is not closely aligned from one grade to the next. This variation in the tested content may cause a student to achieve different from one grade to the next.
Measure other aspects of teacher input and effectiveness. Consider the effectiveness of the teacher to enhance the student-teacher responsibility. Other than exclusively focusing on the standardized test score, use pupil reports, parent perceptions, and peer review of instructional materials to create the link.
