摘要：Using a conceptual framework grounded in globalization and the knowledge economy, this
paper addresses teacher evaluation policy reform in the United Kingdom*** and Singapore.
Specifically, the authors discuss similar demands faced by both countries: maintaining
economic competitiveness in a globalized society, preparing citizens to participate in the
knowledge economy, and improving teacher quality to facilitate enhanced student learning.
Both the UK and Singapore respond to these demands by developing teacher evaluation
policies. However, due to the mediating factors of student demographics, educational
priorities, and the structure of education systems in each context, the UK and Singapore have
created different teacher evaluation systems. It is argued that despite these varying responses,
several essential areas underlie all successful teacher evaluation systems. Considering these
foundational elements, implications for teacher evaluation policy reform in the United States
are discussed.
