Abstract
This study was a descriptive analysis of a population of teachers and administrators in the Broward School District to determine how they perceived the teacher evaluation process as prescribed by the negotiated contract between the Broward Classroom Teachers Association and the School Board of Broward County for the school years of 1979 through 1982. A random sample of teachers produced responses from 310 subjects, while the random sample of principals produced responses from eighty subjects. For purposes of this study, subjects were grouped as either (1) Teacher, Elementary; (2) Teacher, Secondary; (3) Principal, Elementary; or (4) Principal, Secondary. The two independent variables in the study consisted of subject by Position and Level. Each independent variable had subjects in two levels; Principals and Teachers in the instance of Position, Elementary and Secondary in the instance of Level. When the data were analyzed, the major hypothesis tested revealed that principals more than teachers regard the evaluation process as an occasion for meaningful dialogue; advance notice of the time for formal evaluation was of little concern to either group; and, both groups perceived evaluations as a means for improving instruction. From the secondary findings, one significant fact was that both teachers and administrators felt that negotiating the evaluation procedures was of little importance; administrators did not feel frustrated nor hindered by some of the procedures. The author expected teachers to be more supportive of the procedures than administrators, however, both groups were essentially neutral.
