How much teacher is in the teacher rating scale?

How Much Teacher Is in the Teacher Rating Scale?

Friday, November 10, 2023
10:30 AM – 11:30 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Coronado D/E
Teacher Rating Scales (TRS) are often used as a method to identify gifted students, but there is little research documenting how much between-teacher variance exists in teacher ratings and how this variance affects the identification process. We present results on between-teacher variance in TRS and the degree to which it is likely to influence identification decisions.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe why between-teacher variance on teacher rating scales is problematic.
  • Summarize research evidence about the degree to which between-teacher variance exists in teacher rating scales.
  • Evaluate the degree to which between-teacher variance in rating scales is likely to influence identification decisions.
