A Focused, Simplified Evaluation Model for Standards-Based Classrooms
The upgraded Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model streamlines current research and validation studies—zeroing in on 23 essential teacher competencies for improved clarity, efficiency, and effectiveness.
For each competency, the model incorporates a focus statement and desired effect, plus sample instructional techniques and strategies for evaluating student work. Look to these four clearly marked domains of expertise for effectiveness indicators.
- Rigorous, standards-based system in every classroom
- Relentless focus on student results with leading indicators
- Responsive instructional framework with a pathway to scaffold instruction
- Renewed and revitalized teachers with access to resources for growing their practice
