Supervision vs. Evaluation

This week's blog will review 2B of Danielson's Framework for Evaluation.
While supervision is the primary focus of the Danielson Framework (of which we will examine later in the year), PA's Act 82 now uses the rubrics of Danielson's Domains for Evaluation, too.
So why the focus on Domain 2B? Third in importance after Domain 3B & 3C is Establishing a Culture for Learning. As stated in the framework and linked below, "A 'culture for learning' refers to the atmosphere in the classroom that reflects the educational importance of the work undertaken by both students and teacher. It describes the norms that govern the interactions among individuals about the activities and assignments, the value of hard work and perseverance, and the general tone of the class."

EVALUATION:
Purpose-An organizational function designed to assess and make comprehensive judgments about the quality of teacher performance/competence & identify areas for growth. Think teacher assessment and accountability.
Rationale-The state (PA) has an obligation/mandate to protect children/adolescents from being harmed. (physical/emotional/education incompetence)
Scope: Global and comprehensive, looking at both instructional and non-instructional duties, e.g., Danielson's 4 Domains.
Data Focus-Must be uniform, standardized and due process-oriented. Everyone in the same job category must be evaluated by the same criteria.

Keep in Mind:
Distinguished is a place visited from time to time, Proficient is where one resides

Supervision vs. Evaluation

-Over the next few weeks, this blog will review Danielson's Framework for Evaluation.
While supervision is the primary focus of the Danielson Framework (of which we will examine later in the year), PA's Act 82 now uses the rubrics of Danielson's Domains for Evaluation, too.
Today's blog will focus on Domain 3B. Why? Second to Domain 3C is Questioning and Discussion Techniques. As stated in the framework and linked below, "Questioning and discussion are the only instructional strategies specifically referred to in the framework for teaching; this fact reflects their central importance to teachers’ practice."

EVALUATION:
Purpose-An organizational function designed to assess and make comprehensive judgments about the quality of teacher performance/competence & identify areas for growth. Think teacher assessment and accountability.
Rationale-The state (PA) has an obligation/mandate to protect children/adolescents from being harmed. (physical/emotional/education incompetence)
Scope: Global and comprehensive, looking at both instructional and non-instructional duties, e.g., Danielson's 4 Domains.
Data Focus-Must be uniform, standardized and due process-oriented. Everyone in the same job category must be evaluated by the same criteria.

Supervision vs. Evaluation

-Over the next few weeks, this blog will review Danielson's Framework for Evaluation.
While supervision is the primary focus of the Danielson Framework (of which we will examine later in the year), PA's Act 82 now uses the rubrics of Danielson's Domains for Evaluation, too.
Today's blog will focus on one such Domain, specifically, 3C. Why? All of Danielson's Framework centers around this one pivotal point and the critical attributes of Domain 3C.

First the rubric, which is the center of scoring evaluations for all 82-1 teachers as defined by PA Legislators:

EVALUATION:
Purpose-An organizational function designed to assess and make comprehensive judgments about the quality of teacher performance/competence & identify areas for growth. Think teacher assessment and accountability.
Rationale-The state (PA) has an obligation/mandate to protect children/adolescents from being harmed. (physical/emotional/education incompetence)
Scope: Global and comprehensive, looking at both instructional and non-instructional duties, e.g., Danielson's 4 Domains.
Data Focus-Must be uniform, standardized and due process-oriented. Everyone in the same job category must be evaluated by the same criteria.
