Marzano Evaluation Model

Teachers,
We will have a mandatory three-hour training on October 28 which will provide a structured overview of the new Evaluation Model.  Throughout the next several weeks I will be posting information regarding the new Evaluation Model that Broward County will be utilizing.  Today I would like for you to read the following: Marzano Model  

Please understand that we will only be focusing on Domain 1, Classroom Strategies and Behaviors, this year.  Domain 1 addresses what teachers do in the classroom and the actions that have a direct effect on student achievement.  It provides the framework that establishes a common language across every classroom.  It will be also used by teachers as a general framework for lesson/unit planning. 
Finally, please read through the following vocabulary list, as these terms will help us to understand this Evaluation Model.

• Instructional Framework: Marzano model that drives the design questions and 41 elements
• Design Question: questions used to guide and plan instruction
• Lesson Segment: 3 parts of a lesson; routine event, addressing content, enacted on the spot
• Scale (rubric): continuum of feedback to document progress
• Protocol: form used to measure the 41 elements (strategies)
• Elements (strategies): a list of research based teacher behaviors that increase student achievement
• Routine Events: day to day procedures and rules

We will be posting a bulletin board in the teacher planning area outlining the model and displaying the vocabulary.
Discussion and comments on this are welcome.
