How can we really evaluate teacher effectiveness? Systems of teacher appraisal and evaluation are being created across the world in order to monitor and assess teacher performance. But do the models used really give a fair evaluation? Based on international research, the authors argue that teacher effectiveness is too narrowly conceptualised and methods of measuring it are not attuned to the real contexts in which teachers work. They propose a model of differential teacher effectiveness which takes into account that: * teachers may be more effective with some categories of students than with others * teachers may be more effective with some teaching contexts than others * teachers may be more effective with some subjects or components than with others. Building on and developing previous research on models of teacher effectiveness and current theories, the authors open up possible new debates which will be of interest to academics and researchers working in this area throughout the world.

Schmaedick makes the case that responsible nonprofit managers must utilize cost-effectiveness analysis and draws examples of how it can be done from prestigious nonprofit organizations. Referencing TechnoServe's search for a practical methodology to measure the cost-effectiveness of its own work, editor Schmaedick provides a unique synthesis of the principles of cost-effectiveness analysis. These guidelines are widely applicable and make cost-effective management an attainable goal for all nonprofits. Schmaedick provides some hard-nosed practical directions for nonprofit managers. Anyone seriously interested in management for cost-effectiveness will find this a challenging, but not intimidating prescription. The chapters that follow illustrate how leading nonprofit organizations in the Arts, Education, Environment, Health, Human Services, and International Development grapple with and resolve the challenge of cost-effective management.
