Beginning Teacher Evaluation Study
- Beginning Teacher Evaluation Study
The U.S. National Institute of Education (NIE) funded the Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development to compile the Beginning Teacher Evaluation Study (BTES) that was conducted between 1975 and 1977. The BTES data are from samples of 2,940 second grade students and 3,995 fifth grade students from California during the 1975 through 1976 academic year, 309 second grade students and 259 fifth grade students from a sample of 29 classes from the San Francisco Bay area during the 1975 through 1976 academic year, and 139 second grade students from 21 classes and 122 fifth grade students from 21 classes in the San Francisco Bay area during the 1976 through 1977 academic year. The NIE used these data to develop and explore hypotheses about effective teaching behaviors. In Phase III of the study, the NIE identified more or less effective teachers at grades 2 and 5 in reading and mathematics and then analyzed both teacher and student behavior in the classroom. The public use data files contain student responses on achievement tests in reading and mathematics, student scores on these tests, total classroom time spent on different aspects of reading and mathematics by instructional mode, observed classroom behaviors of both students and teachers, and ratings of classroom climate and procedures.
