| Apr 15, 2015 at 20:00 | comment | added | LSpice | One measure that my department has proposed, in response to a university-wide initiative for non-(student evaluation) means of evaluation, is interviews with students after their degrees, to determine the effectiveness of their undergraduate education in preparing them for their later career. We rejected this as unworkable on a large scale, but it is probably the closest thing I have ever heard to any realistic approach at evaluating 'real' success (not just test scores). | |
| Apr 15, 2015 at 19:58 | comment | added | LSpice | While it suffers from the overreliance that you mention on test scores as the final measure of teacher effectiveness, the article theguardian.com/education/2015/mar/11/… quotes a study by Eric Hanushek that found (in the article's words) that "the difference between a good and a bad teacher is worth a whole year." (However, this is at the secondary level, and it looks like you may be interested in the college level.) | |

There are other similar frameworks, but right now Danielson is the most popular | |
