Cultural Standards* 
*The four Cultural Standards for 
Educators must be incorporated 
into the evaluation process. 
• Observations: 
(In development) 
• Information from 
parent, 
students, etc… 
• Other 
information as 
determined by 
district 
Two valid, 
reliable 
measures of 
student 
performance 
Unsatisfactor 
y 
Basic 
Proficient 
Exemplary
Goals 
 Streamlined - The process should be easily understandable 
for all, not so burdensome that it isn’t used effectively 
 Linked –Observations, walkthroughs, lenses, etc. should be 
focused on indicators that link directly to our framework for 
usable data. 
 Supportive – All aspects should lead to supportive 
discussions and next steps that improve practice. 
 Useful for professional development – by school, district, or 
individual. Data should help us make informed decisions 
about what type of PD support is needed.
The Concept 
4 Performance Standards 
 1. Learning Environment 
 2. Planning 
 3. Instructional Delivery 
 4. Professionalism 
These align as required by the State with the Alaska 
Professional Teaching Standards. They also align with State 
supported models such as Danielson and Marzano.
#1 Learning Environment 
 Physical Space 
 Climate 
 Management 
 Expanded Environments
#2 Instructional Planning 
 Demonstrates knowledge of content and curriculum 
 Demonstrates knowledge of student needs and 
interests 
 Incorporates strategies/resources for best practices 
 Plans for long term and short term
#3 Instructional Delivery 
 Makes connections to establish relevance 
 Uses a variety of strategies and resources 
 Promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and self-directed 
learning 
 Assessments guide instruction
#4 Professionalism 
 Professionalism toward students, school, community, 
and the profession 
 Professionalism in learning communities and networks 
 Professional Development 
 Professional attitudes regarding State, district and 
school policies, procedures, and regulations
Streamlining Our Work 
 We will share the Google Folder “AGSD Teacher 
Evaluation Model”. 
 Send me an email with or from your email account you 
use for your Google account (the one you use to share 
Google Docs) - tracie.weisz@gmail.com 
 I’ll share the folder with you (be patient! This may take 
a few minutes). 
 The folder contains 9 items. You will be using the first 8 
in your work this morning. The last one is for the 
afternoon workshop.
Our Work Today 
 GOAL: We need to determine what our proficiency 
indicators will be within our 4 Performance Standards 
 OUTCOME: In your Performance Standard Worksheet 
in your Google Doc, enter in the indicators your group 
has chosen that fit within the Supporting Categories.
Our Work Today 
 GOAL: We need to determine what our indicators will be 
within our 4 Performance Areas 
 TASK: Your group will focus on one of the Performance 
Standards. You will be provided with a list of related 
indicators taken from EED-approved sources including; the 
Alaska Professional Teacher Standards, the Charlotte 
Danielson model, the Marzano model, and the CEL 5D+ 
(Washington State). Included are also the California 
Professional Teacher Standards, as these are utilized by the 
Alaska Mentor Project and are familiar to many new 
teachers. Your group will discuss the Performance Standard 
and its Supporting Categories, review the provided 
indicators, and begin to choose (adapt and re-word as 
necessary) indicators that clearly establish proficient-level 
teaching behaviors that align with the Supporting Categories 
given for that Performance Standard.
Specifics: 
Each group has been provided with the following: 
 A Performance Standard and its 4 Supporting 
Categories 
 A list of aligned indicators and sources 
 Copies of Charlotte Danielson and Marzano models to 
look at as examples for how proficiency indicators are 
written 
 Access to Google Docs folder for your group in which 
you can enter your group’s work
