Hi. My name is Ashley. And today's lesson is titled Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model.
In today's lesson, we will provide some background knowledge on the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model and how it originated. We'll look at the purpose of the Teacher Evaluation Model. And we'll review features of Marzano's model.
How did the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model originate? Marzano's Teacher Evaluation Model was formed as a result of his extensive research on effective teaching and learning. The 2013 version of the model is derived from his many works. His work includes What Works in Schools, Classroom Instruction that Works, Classroom Management that Works, Classroom Assessment and Grading that Work, The Art and Science of Teaching, and Effective Supervision-- Supporting the Art and Science of Teaching.
He has compiled over 5,000 research studies through his texts that spans over 50 years and have been sampled by a diverse group of schools, districts, states, teachers, and students. Marzano's model is consistent with Race to the Top requirements, where improving teacher quality and student access to highly qualified teachers is a focus.
What is the purpose of the Evaluation Model? The purpose of Marzano's model is to link teaching practices with student achievement. It should be evident that improvement with students is dependent upon teaching practices. The Evaluation Model also is used to improve support and teacher effectiveness. The model helps identify teacher weakness and give the support needed to improve in those areas.
Lastly, the Evaluation Model is in place to enhance student learning and achievement. That is the main goal. In order to successfully improve student learning and achievement, we must start with the teacher and ensure that the teacher is effective in his or her teaching practices.
Now let's take a look at the features of the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model. This model consists of four domains-- domain one, classroom strategies and behavior. Domain two, planning and preparing. Domain three, reflecting on teaching. And domain four, collegiality and professionalism. Let's look at a couple of these a little more closely.
Take teacher A, for example. Teacher A does not think her math lessons are effective. And she wants to incorporate math rotations effectively in her classroom. She seeks online resources, professional development workshops, and the feedback from her colleagues to successfully implement stations.
This teacher's addressing domain three reflecting on teaching, evaluating personal performance. This teacher is reflecting on a previous lesson that she has taught and has decided that her teaching methods are not benefiting her students. She has evaluated her performance and decides some improvements need to be made. This teacher understands something she's doing is not working and has brainstormed ideas that will help her improve.
Teacher A is also addressing domain four, collegiality and professionalism, by promoting the exchange of ideas and strategies. This component is related to domain four because it involves working together with colleagues and being professional. This teacher seeks the advice of her colleagues to create a better learning experience for her students.
Now let's consider teacher B. Teacher B outlines the first week of school activities, planning time to teach class expectations and routines for his new fifth grade students. This teacher is addressing domain one, classroom strategies and behaviors, and the component "segments involving routines."
This component is related to domain one because routines can positively affect student behavior. The teacher is preparing students for smooth transitions and routines by explicitly teaching classroom strategies and what appropriate behavior looks like.
Domain two, planning and preparing, is also being addressed. Planning and preparing for lessons and units is a part of domain two that involves the preparation of instruction and materials for lessons. The teacher is taking time to thoughtfully plan out the teaching of classroom expectations, which is probably one the most important lessons of them all. As you can see, daily tasks that teachers perform are represented here on the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model.
Let's recap what we have discussed in today's lesson. The Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model is based on Marzano's extensive research on effective teaching and learning. It was formed to link teaching practices with student achievement and improve support for teacher effectiveness.
The model consists of four domains-- domain one, classroom strategies and behavior. Domain two, planning and preparing. Domain three, reflecting on teaching. And domain four, collegiality and professionalism.
