Rezensionen

"This book represents an amalgam of examinations of teacher evaluation from the contexts of North America and Europe. ... this book may be valuable to those who are trying to reconceptualize evaluation policies by learning from other countries." (Moldir Ablayeva, Educational Review, Vol. 74 (3), 2022)
