The Missing Voice of Students and Parents in Teacher Performance Evaluation
PREAL Working Paper argues that student opinion can enrich models and standards for evaluating teacher performance.
Focus on SERCE
We are pleased to share with you the fifth and sixth issues of the newsletter of PREAL’s Working Group on Education Standards and Assessment, the Observatorio de Políticas Regionales de Evaluación Educativa.
Both issues discuss, among other topics, the results of the recent international student achievement test: the Second Regional, Comparative, and Explanatory Study (SERCE), produced by UNESCO. They provide a general overview of the format and structure of the first SERCE report; a discussion of Cuba’s education system (in light the country’s remarkably high test scores); and an article on the kind of debate that Latin America should have about the SERCE results.
