What does the observation portion of a teachers evaluation entail?
Under the OPE system, the observation portion of a teacher’s evaluation is based on frameworks for best practices developed by Charlotte Danielson for Association for Supervision and Curricular Development (Enhancing professional practice: A framework for teaching. ASCD, Alexandria, VA). Mirroring performance standards for students in various subjects, teaching practice is broken down into four domains and a rubric determines where a teacher is performing along four different levels of attainment. The four domains are: planning and preparation, classroom environment, instruction, and completion of professional responsibilities.
