In 1999 and 2000 Idaho Core Teacher Standers were

developed by teachers, higher education representatives,
parents, school administrators business people and others.
These standards are a method to determine a teachers
effectiveness. The teacher evaluation is based upon the
Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium
Model (INTASC). An effective teacher according to this
evaluation is one that shows knowledge, skills, and
commitments that ensure quality learning and growth of all
students. These teachers strive for achievement for each
student and are able to recognize and apply ways in helping
all children in their classroom to learn. The teacher also
knows that collaboration and continuing education is

 The Danielson Framework for teaching evaluation

method identifies the skills teachers need to promote

student learning. It is research based and outlines
what teachers should know and be able to use it in
their profession.
The Danielson Framework includes 4 domains and 22
components. The State of Idaho has adopted this
method of evaluation. The Framework and Idaho Core
Standards are closely related other than I believe the
framework is more detailed

 The next slides will show the Domains and the

components, while you look notice how the Domains

correlate with the Idaho Core Standards.
Domain 1 correlates with standard 1, 2, and 7. Domain
2 correlates with standard 5. Domain 3 correlates with
standards 3, 4, 6, and 8, and lastly Domain 4 correlates
with standards 4,9, and 10

 With the evaluation assessment a teacher is

determined either unsatisfactory (Level 1), basic (Level

2), proficient (Level 3), or distinguished (Level 4).
On the next slide I will state what they consider each
of these levels mean.

 The teacher displays dishonesty in interactions with

colleagues, students, and the public. The teacher is not

alert to students needs and contributes to school
practices that result in some students being ill served
by the school. The teacher makes decisions and
recommendations that are based on self-serving
interests. The teacher does not comply with school and
district regulations. (Danielson)
Example: The teacher fails to notice that one of his
kindergartners is often ill, looks malnourished, and
frequently has bruises on her arms and legs.
(Danielson)

 The teacher is honest in interactions with colleagues,

students, and the public. The teachers attempts to serve

students are inconsistent, and unknowingly contribute to
some students being ill served by the school. The teachers
decisions and recommendations are based on limited
though genuinely professional considerations. The teacher
must be reminded by supervisors about complying with
school and district regulations. (Danielson)
Ex. The teacher considers staying late to help some of her
students in after-school daycare but then realizes it would
conflict with her health club class and so decides against it.
(Danielson)

 The teacher displays high standards of honesty,

integrity, and confidentiality in interactions with

colleagues, students, and the public. The teacher is
active in serving students, working to ensure that all
students receive a fair opportunity to succeed. The
teacher maintains an open mind in team or
departmental decision making. The teacher complies
fully with school and district regulations. (Danielson)
Ex. The teacher notices some speech delays in a few of
her young students; she calls in the speech therapist to
do a few sessions in her classroom and provide
feedback on further steps. (Danielson)

 The teacher can be counted on to hold the highest standards of

honesty, integrity, and confidentiality and takes a leadership role

with colleagues. The teacher is highly proactive in serving
students, seeking out resources when needed. The teacher
makes a concerted effort to challenge negative attitudes or
practices to ensure that all students, particularly those
traditionally underserved, are honored in the school. The
teacher takes a leadership role in team or departmental decision
making and helps ensure that such decisions are based on the
highest professional standards. The teacher complies fully with
school and district regulations, taking a leadership role with
colleagues. (Danielson)
Ex. When the district adopts a new Web-based grading program,
the teacher learns it inside and out so that she will be able to
assist her colleagues with its implementation. (Danielson)
