Abstract
Because teachers remain the top indicator of student achievement in the classroom, it is imperative that administrators focus on developing a teacher's skills and attributes (Darling-Hammond, 1984). Research indicates that the best qualified teachers are also the most dissatisfied (Darling-Hammond, Wise, & Klein, 1999). Consequently, the teacher attrition rate is alarming considering that 25% of teachers leave the field within three years and 40% leave the profession within five years (Skaalvik & Skaalvik, 2011). Due to the substantial teacher dissatisfaction and the importance of teacher effectiveness, coupled with the recent initiatives such as Every Student Succeeds Act, teacher evaluation continues to remain at the center of necessary discussions with the hope of promoting meaningful change.
