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."
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
