Since the National Governors Association is one of the organizations most influential over educational policy in the United States (Swanson & Bariage, 2006), it is important to see how this organization has influenced teacher evaluation policy in the states during this era of accountability, especially since its practice has been historically a matter of local judgment and discretion.	cache/epaa-7.pdf	txt/epaa-7.txt
