Defining a good teacher

As part of new legislation, the state is asking principals to formally evaluate teachers every year. This evaluation will then partly influence teachers' salaries. The state is working on a possible evaluation model as a way to define those characteristics that make for a good teacher. Districts can use this model, or they can create their own, as long as the model meets certain parameters.

Click on the images below to see several examples from the model, though it is still subject to change.

For the complete model, go to http://www.doe.in.gov/puttingstudentsfirst/ and click on the "DRAFT Teacher Effectiveness Rubric" link.
