Maplewood Patch - New Teacher Evaluations for 2009-2010


Maplewood Patch - New Teacher Evaluations for 2009-2010:

"The framework being adopted was developed by Charlotte Danielson, a Princeton-based educational consultant and former classroom teacher who created a schema for evaluations in four domains: planning and preparation; classroom environment, which includes discipline and organizing space; instruction; and professional responsibilities, which includes maintaining records and communicating with families. (Different rubrics have been developed for school nurses, guidance counselors, and other staff.)

Teachers will be evaluated on items in each domain on a scale from unsatisfactory to basic to proficient to distinguished—a high mark to reach."
