The study of human behavior encompasses an exploration of both positive and negative aspects of how individuals think and behave. While virtues such as kindness and honesty have received considerable attention, the field of "dark psychology," which delves into the more unsettling facets of human nature, raises concerns and ethical considerations.

As researchers and educators, we acknowledge the complexity and sensitivity of the subject of dark psychology. We aspire for this work to foster a nuanced understanding of the ethical dilemmas and responsible pedagogical strategies pertinent to this domain within academic environments. We extend our gratitude to the numerous scholars, researchers, and educators whose contributions have shaped our comprehension of this multifaceted subject. Their perspectives and insights have been instrumental in shaping the discourse presented within these pages.

In Linking Teacher Evaluation and Student Learning, researchers Pamela D. Tucker and James H. Stronge show that including measures of student achievement in teacher evaluations can help schools focus their efforts to meet higher standards. You'll see how four school systems have built such measures into their evaluation programs in these distinct ways: * Documenting how desired learning outcomes translated into actual student learning * Tracking progress on key content standards * Setting annual quantifiable goals for students' academic progress * Analyzing changes in students' achievement test scores The authors explore the strengths of each approach, offer insights from teachers and administrators, and describe practical ways to incorporate similar measures of student learning into your own evaluation program. Detailed appendixes provide hands-on tools and resources to help you adapt these approaches to your school's particular needs. For any school that is working to meet higher standards, linking teacher evaluation to measures of student learning is a powerful way to refocus professional development and improve student achievement.
