A study was conducted to determine agreement between Christian school teachers and administrators regarding the importance of selected teacher evaluation criteria. Thirty-nine criteria were included from Christian school literature and from a list suggested by Manatt and Stow. The populations of the study included participants at the 1986 International Institutes for Christian School Teachers and Administrators and teachers and administrators from selected Midwest Christian schools.An instrument was administered on site to the Institute population and via mail to the Midwest population. Chi-square analyses were run to determine any significant differences of opinion.Findings1. There was a high degree of congruence of opinion between the teachers and administrators regarding the importance of the selected criteria suggesting a core of desirable teacher evaluation criteria for Christian schools.2. Thirty-five criteria, including all 20 suggested by Manatt and Stow, were considered to be very important by 3. Differences of opinion between teachers and administrators included respect for authority, which the administrators thought more important, and lesson plans and effective use of time, materials, and resources, which teachers thought more important.4. No conclusions could be made regarding the influence of any demographic information on the opinions.5. There was no evidence that a teacher's input into teacher evaluation is related to a teacher's satisfaction with teacher evaluation.A list was included in Chapter V of 22 teacher evaluation criteria which were mutually important to Christian school teachers and administrators.
