The State of Idaho has adopted the Danielson Framework for Teaching as the statewide research-based foundation for teacher evaluation from which individual school district will implement an objective, reliable, valid and transparent evaluation process. This web site provides information and resources to assist districts in developing their teacher evaluation models.
Message from Superintendent Luna
Thank you for visiting the Teacher Performance Evaluation Task Force web site to learn more about our initial recommendations for improving teacher evaluations in Idaho.
We know the most important factor in a student's academic success is the teacher in the classroom. That is why this task force has worked determinedly over the past several months to create statewide minimum standards for teacher evaluations that will ultimately help Idaho teachers improve the craft of teaching.
I am proud of the broad group of stakeholders we brought together in creating this task force and for the hard work each and every member has put into creating this plan. The members of this task force have worked tirelessly over the past five months to create this plan, and I encourage all Idaho teachers, school administrators, parents and other citizens to join us for one of the regional public meetings we have scheduled in October so you can hear the proposal and give us feedback.
If you cannot attend one of these public meetings, please submit your comments and questions online or check back at this web site for more information on online webinars that will be held near the end of October.
Thank you again for visiting our site. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Tom Luna
Superintendent of Public Instruction
