Abstract	This mixed-methods study examined the perceptions of 1,274 Michigan teachers and 474 administrators on the teacher evaluation process and teacher wellbeing. A stratified convenience sample of public school educators from Michigan's 56 Intermediate School Districts were surveyed using a researcher-constructed survey tool that included categorical sliding scales and extended response questions. An additional stratified sample 128 teachers and 48 administrators from the original participants were selected for interviews. Quantitatively, administrators perceived that the teacher evaluation process increased teacher well-being significantly more than teachers perceived. Qualitatively, teacher described how the teacher evaluation process increased stress, unhealthy competition, and administrator inconsistency. Administrator responses were mixed with a nearly equal number concurring with teachers and those who perceived increased collaboration and healthy competition. Both groups agreed that lack of time was the primary barrier to effective teacher evaluations. Improving the evaluation process is vital since teachers with low wellbeing are more likely to leave the profession, which could exacerbate our nation's growing teacher shortage. (As Provided).
