2. Goals
Streamlined - The process should be easily understandable
for all, not so burdensome that it isn’t used effectively
Linked –Observations, walkthroughs, lenses, etc. should be
focused on indicators that link directly to our framework for
usable data.
Supportive – All aspects should lead to supportive
discussions and next steps that improve practice.
Useful for professional development – by school, district, or
individual. Data should help us make informed decisions
about what type of PD support is needed.
3. Option: Danielson
PROS:
1. Our familiarity with framework
2. There are already many tools
developed for it
3. 4 domains – not overwhelming
4. 4. Indicators developed at all
levels
CONS:
1. We cannot use it in ClassBright
2. We will need to do the work to
adapt it for other evaluations
(admin, etc.)
3. All domains weighted the same
4. Teachscape tool (only one
approved for electronic use) not
user friendly. Adds another layer
of tools we must use.
5. Expensive
4. Option: Marzano
PROS:
1. Domains weighted, with
actual instruction given
most weight
2. Has indicators for teachers
AND administrators
3. iObservation tool is easy,
mobile, generates data,
and contains support PD
for teachers
CONS:
1. Over 60 elements, many of
which are not realistic for
us.
2. Cannot load into
ClassBright
3. iObservation tool is
expensive
4. Extra tool (iObservation)
adds yet ANOTHER layer
of “things” for us to add to
the process.
5. Option: Our Own Hybrid
PROS:
1. Flexible – we can make it what we
want, and adapt it when necessary
2. Can put it in ClassBright, keeping our
system streamlined
3. We can keep it concise and short to fit
our needs.
4. We can add the cultural standards in
realistic and relevant ways, not just as
“extras”
5. Low to no cost – we already have the
technology capabilities in ClassBright
6. We adapt and use indicators from other
frameworks
CONS:
1. Time up front – developing this from the
ground up will be time consuming.
2. We will need to adapt for admin and
para evaluations

11. Next Steps?
Choose a framework and move on from there
Indicators
Levels of performance
Observation tools
Plan our SLO’s around chosen framework – Look at
what has been done, and develop timeline for 2nd
Semester SLO’s
12. Time Frame
Needs to be ready by January for rollout of 2nd
semester SLO’s
1 meeting per standard so that we can vet indicators
5 meetings between now and Christmas break with
some committee work in between.
