differential responses from low to high rated teachers suggest possible test score

that there was no proof that ratings publication affected teacher turnover or classroom

Taylor and Tyler (2012) discovered that performance measures and a quality

performance appraisal ratings are related to the achievement scores of their students.
Performance appraisal scores were negatively correlated with student achievement.

different from that of Kenya due to lack of uniformity. For instance, in Kenya, there is a
