This study uses a qualitative approach and provides data from individual and focus group interviews to determine the extent to which the district is prepared to make the changes effectively. The findings show that while teachers and administrators perceive potential benefits to teacher evaluation reforms, they also recognize barriers to successful implementation. Implications provide strategies that would benefit the district in an effective transition to the new model of teacher performance evaluation.  \nIntroduction  \nThe Illinois State Board of Education is requiring nearly 11,500 building-level administrators across the State of Illinois to change the way in which they evaluate teacher performance. Necessitated by Senate Bill 315, Public Act 96-0861, or the Performance Evaluation Reform Act of 2010 (PERA), performance evaluations across all districts in the state will soon include a fourcategory system of ratings, coupled with student growth indicators. These reforms amount to amandated change in the evaluative practices and a shift in the primary role of the school principal from building manager to instructional leader (ISBE, 2012) .  \nNCPEA Education Leadership Review of Doctoral Research, Vol. 1, No. 2 – October 2014 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2014 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration  \nThis manuscript may not be used commercially or edited. When quoting portions of this text, attribution to  \nthe author/s is required.  \nThis shift is happening at a time when many Illinois school districts are exploring every cost-cutting and revenue-generating option and facing late and/or prorated payments from the State. In this climate, when fiscal and personnel resources are shrinking, districts cannot afford to make the necessary investment to maintain fidelity with the new model of teacher evaluation without realizing returns in student achievement and improved teacher performance. This qualitative study examines the perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs of administrators and teachers in one school district located in Southwestern Illinois related to the recent reforms in teacher performance evaluation and the extent to which their district and schools are prepared for them. Specifically, we use the information gained in this study to identify potential barriers and develop strategies to help district-level administrators and teachers better understand and be better equipped to address the potential barriers to successful organizational change as it relates to the implementation of new teacher evaluation reforms. We sought to answer two research questions:  \n1. What are the perceptions of the district’s building-level administrators and teachers regarding shifting teacher performance evaluation practices?  \n2. What do these perceptions tell us about the administrators’and teachers’degree of change readiness related to teacher performance evaluation reform?  \nTheoretical Framework  \nIn order for school leaders to transform their environment and lead their schools through this transition successfully, they must understand organizational change and the dynamics of the change process. Organizational change occurs because the leaders and change agents deem it necessary. Implicit to organizational change is the assumption that an environment can be altered and that employees are","cbCaiv4cgsa18PmU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv4cgsa18PmU","pdf",287734,16,"English","# Introduction\n## Theoretical Framework\n## Review of Literature","[{\"question\":\"What reforms to teacher performance evaluation does the study address?\",\"answer\":\"The study focuses on state-required changes to how teacher performance is evaluated, including a four-category ratings system paired with student growth indicators.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study measure change readiness?\",\"answer\":\"It examines administrators’ and teachers’ perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs through individual and focus group interviews to gauge their degree of change readiness.\"},{\"question\":\"What main findings emerge about the readiness for implementation?\",\"answer\":\"Participants perceive potential benefits of the reforms, but they also identify barriers that could hinder successful implementation and require targeted strategies for transition.\"}]","Shifting Practices in Teacher Performance Evaluation - A Qualitative Examination of Administrator Change Readiness | PDF",1792093379]
