Educational Assessment Scales

The following short-form assessment scales focus on evaluating educational settings or environments.

Classroom Teacher Evaluation Scale (CTES)

The CTES is used to evaluate teacher performance in the classroom. Scores range from 0 to 100 where higher scores indicate higher teaching ability as judged by students. Obtained scores are given grade equivalents on a range from F = Failure to A = Outstanding.

Reliability: .97 or greater.
