Domain 2: Classroom Environment

The teacher:


helps students to develop skills to work purposefully and cooperatively in groups.

facilitates lessons that engage students in different types of activities-large groups, small groups, and independent work.

ensures smooth functioning of all routines and maximizes instructional time.


Domain 3: Instruction

The teacher:

  • develops and presents questions that cause students to think and reflect; resulting in deeper understanding of the topic.
  • promotes learning through discussion.
  • uses a range of techniques to ensure that all students contribute to the discussion and enlists the assistance of students to ensure this outcome.

Domain 3: Instruction

The teacher:

  • facilitates activities and assignments that promote learning and are aligned with the goals of the lesson.
  • groups students for instruction in a variety of ways using factors such as similar backgrounds, ability levels, as well as random groupings.
  • selects instructional materials suited to engaging students in understanding/learning at a deeper level.

  • supervises Special Education paraprofessionals in the classroom setting, inclusive of establishing the paraprofessional's support role with the implementation of IEP goals/objectives, scheduling, and ensuring professional conduct.
  • interprets evaluation data from Initial Pupil Appraisal Evaluations and devises an Individualized Education Program (IEP) inclusive of student strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations.

  • complies with EBRPSS disciplinary procedures regarding suspensions/expulsions through the maintenance of data, for example, Behavior Tracking Forms and Behavior Intervention Plans.

Standards of Effectiveness

Fifty percent of the evaluation for teachers shall be composed of applicable measures of growth in student learning and the remaining fifty percent shall be based upon a qualitative assessment of teacher performance. For teachers, the 50% of the evaluation based upon growth in student learning shall measure the growth of their students according to a pre-determined assessment method, using the value-added model, where available, and alternate measures of student growth according to state guidelines, where value-added data are not available. The 50% of the evaluation that is based on a qualitative measure of teacher performance shall include a minimum of one formal observation and at least one informal observation. This portion of the evaluation may include additional evaluative evidence, such as walkthrough observation data and the evaluation of written work products. The combination of the applicable measure of growth in student learning and the qualitative assessment of performance shall result in a composite score used to distinguish if the level of effectiveness is highly effective, effective, proficient, effective emerging, or ineffective.


Measures of Growth in Student Learning: Value Added Model (VAM) or Non-Tested Grades and Subjects (NTGS)

A value-added model shall be used to measure student growth for the purposes of teacher evaluation, where available. The value-added model shall be applied to grades and subjects that participate in state-wide standardized tests and for which appropriate prior testing data is available. The value-added model shall not be applied for the purposes of evaluation in any cases in which there are fewer than five students with value-added results assigned to an educator. The value-added model, which will take into account select classroom composition variables and select multiple student-level variables, shall be an approved statistical model for linking academic gains of students to teachers in grades and subjects for which appropriate data are available. For teachers of non-tested grades and subjects (NTGS), for which there is little or no value-added data available, progress towards pre-determined Student Learning Targets (SLTs), as measured by state-approved common assessments, where available, shall govern the student growth component of the evaluation. Teacher and/or district-developed SLTs shall include goals which express an expectation of growth in student achievement over a given period of time, as well as common measures for assessing attainment of those goals, such as an identified assessment and/or a body of evidence.
