## In authors' words

### What they set out to do (purpose)

The last of a three-part Classroom Q&A series by Larry Ferlazzo on alternatives to test scores in teacher evaluation, collecting responses from W. James Popham, Barnett Berry, Pia Lindquist Wong, Rick Stiggins, and Derek Cabrera.

### What they found (results)

Cabrera's contribution reframes the question — not how to evaluate teachers but how to elevate teaching as a profession — and proposes teacher self-governance along the lines of a bar association.
