Student Perceptions and the MET Project
This is a broad overview of Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) project. The project, which is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, seeks to develop and test multiple measures of teacher effectiveness. This overview identifies five critical areas of research and explores key components, such as the Tripod survey, which is used to gather, organize, and report on student perceptions at the classroom level.
With states and districts implementing new academic standards based on the Common Core State Standards, teachers have more opportunities than ever to collaborate around the shared goals of strengthening curriculum design, classroom practices, and student learning.
From 2007 to 2014, Cambridge Education implemented Tripod surveys through its partnership with Dr. Ronald F. Ferguson of Harvard University. Dr. Ferguson and Rob Ramsdell were the professional leads for the survey portion of the MET project and Cambridge Education managed all data collection related to the Tripod survey.
The National Board partners with diverse stakeholders, representing educators, administrators, policymakers and advocates, to ensure that many more students in America have the opportunity to learn from accomplished teachers.
