Abstract
This study used a multi-method approach to develop a model that changed
the focus of teacher evaluation by using walkthroughs to guide teacher evaluation in
order to increase student engagement utilizing a strategic leadership model. The
objectives were (1) to explore the current practices in teacher evaluation,
walkthroughs, and student engagement, (2) to determine the current practices of
teacher evaluation, walkthroughs and student engagement at international schools in
Thailand, (3) to develop the proposed strategic leadership model in teacher evaluation
using walkthroughs to increase student engagement, and, (4) to implement the
proposed strategic leadership model in teacher evaluation using walkthrough to
increase student engagement in an international school in Bangkok. Current practices
regarding teacher evaluation were established by using a content analysis-based
questionnaire sampling schools registered with the International Schools Association
of Thailand.
The results of the questionnaire and the focus group interviews conducted,
pointed to a major problem with teacher evaluation and its implementation. Current
models of teacher evaluation and the leadership behind them were not effective.
A new strategic leadership model was developed to use walkthroughs to
improve student engagement. The model was implemented at a family of
international schools in Bangkok over a six-month period. Walkthroughs gauging
student engagement in areas of curriculum, instruction, environment and learning
were conducted at the beginning and end of the trial period. A paired sample t-test
was used to measure for statistical significance. In each of the four areas the findings
were significant thereby validating the strategic leadership model and its application.
