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.

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