Streamline classroom observations with software built specifically for South Dakota's InTASC-based Teacher Evaluation Framework
All 10 Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium standards fully integrated
The teacher understands how learners grow and develop, recognizing that patterns of learning and development vary individually within and across cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas.
The teacher uses understanding of individual differences and diverse cultures and communities to ensure inclusive learning environments that enable each learner to meet high standards.
The teacher works with others to create environments that support individual and collaborative learning, encouraging positive social interaction, active engagement, and self-motivation.
The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline and creates learning experiences that make these aspects accessible and meaningful for learners.
The teacher understands how to connect concepts and use differing perspectives to engage learners in critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem-solving related to authentic local and global issues.
The teacher understands and uses multiple methods of assessment to engage learners in their own growth, to monitor learner progress, and to guide the teacher's and learner's decision making.
The teacher plans instruction that supports every student in meeting rigorous learning goals by drawing upon knowledge of content areas, curriculum, cross-disciplinary skills, pedagogy, and learners.
The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage learners to develop deep understanding of content areas and their connections and build skills to apply knowledge meaningfully.
The teacher engages in ongoing professional learning and uses evidence to continually evaluate practice, particularly the effects of choices and actions on others.
The teacher seeks appropriate leadership roles and opportunities to take responsibility for student learning, collaborate with learners, families, colleagues, and community members.
