This case study aimed to develop a participatory teacher evaluation model to promote teachers’ professional development. A private primary school was determined as the case, and the study was conducted in the academic year of 2018-2020. Classroom teachers, principals, and experts working in this school constituted the participants. The first part of the research aimed to provide an in-depth analysis of perceptions of participants on current teacher evaluation and professional development practices. In the second part of the study, the researcher developed an initial model in line with the opinions obtained from the first part. Initial model was introduced to the participants and the opinions of the participants were taken with focus group interviews. In the third part of the study the guide of the model and the data collection tools to be used in the model were developed in line with the opinions obtained from the second part. The developed teacher evaluation model was aimed to ensure the professional development of teachers in the qualifications of planning and preparation, instruction, reflective thinking, communication and collaboration, and professional responsibilities. Data aimed to be collected from multiple sources with the help of the developed data collection tools (classroom observation form, pre-observation, and post-observation interview forms, self-evaluation form, lesson plan review form, and professional responsibilities evaluation form). Functional reports covering the holistic evaluation of the teacher would be shared with the teacher at the end of each academic term, giving the teacher the right to speak through face-to-face meetings with the school principal.
