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.
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
