The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Building a More Complete Understanding of Teacher Evaluation Using Classroom Observations (2016, background): “As a result, most research instruments mandate multiple observations of a certain duration of time, separated by several weeks or months to maximize the likelihood of comprehensive and stable estimates of practice (Pianta & Hamre, 2009; Hill et al., 2012; Ho & Kane, 2013).”
Effective teaching in elementary mathematics: Identifying classroom practices that support student achievement (2015, unknown): “In addition, analyses from the MET project indicate that teachers are ranked almost identically when they choose lessons themselves compared to when lessons are chosen for them (Ho & Kane, 2013).”
Observational Evaluation of Teachers: Measuring More Than We Bargained for? (2016, result): “…suggested the existence of rater biases like these have recommended additional rater training and the use of multiple raters, including external raters (Campbell, 2014; Whitehurst et al., 2014), which is also consistent with the recommendations provided by MET researchers (Ho & Kane, 2013).”
