    For Level 4- All evidence supporting Level 3 is

    present, as well as one of the following:

    For Level 5- All evidence supporting Level 3 is

    present, as well as two or more of the following:

    Teachers clear explanation and/or modelingof what mastering objectives and/or

    exemplary student work look like allow

    students to describe how their learning will be

    assessed and also model or explain this to

    other students.

    Teacher actively and effectively engages

    students in the process of connecting the

    lesson with their prior knowledge.

    Students can explain or demonstrate the

    lesson objectives within the context of the

    related standard(s).

    The following best describes what is observed:

    Teacher communicates lesson objectives to

    students in relationship to standards using

    developmentally appropriate language.

    Teacher explains or models what mastery of

    the objectives and/ or related performance

    tasks look like.

    Students can explain or demonstrate what

    they are learning beyond simply repeating the

    stated or posted objectives.

    Teacher provides multiple opportunities for

    engagement in lesson objectives, including

    connecting to prior knowledge.

    Students can explain or demonstrate why what

    they are learning is important.

    The following best describes what is observed:

    Teacher communicates lesson objectives to

    students using language that is not

    developmentally appropriate.

    Teacher models what mastery of the objectives

    and/or related performance tasks look like,

    but modeling is unclear and only few students

    can describe how their learning will be

    assessed.

    Students can retell the objectives or describe/

    demonstrate the tasks they are completing but

    are unable to make connections to what they

    are learning.

    Teacher provides limited opportunities for

    engagement in lesson objectives, and/or

    opportunities for engagement have minimal

    connection with the lesson objectives.

    Students offer inaccurate reasons or

    demonstrations regarding why what they are

    learning is important.

    The following best describes wh

    Lesson objectives are not c

    students, or objectives lack

    coherence.

    Teacher does not model w

    objectives or related perfo

    like. Students do not know

    objective(s) will be assess

    Students struggle to retell/

    objectives or explain the ta

    completing.

    Teacher does not provide

    engagement in lesson obje

    opportunities for engagem

    disconnected from the less

    Students are unable to exp

    are learning is important.

    Notes:

    Examples of how a teacher might explain or model mastery of objectives include sharing exemplars of high quality work when engaging students in the lesson, demonstrating effective strategies/thinking required to master the objto state what they think mastery would look like and clarifying expectations through Q & A.

    To determine if students can explain the lesson objectives, observe times when the teacher engages students in the lesson objective and/or the teacher facilitates a conversation with students about the lesson objective.

    Students understanding how the objectives fit into the broader content or goals may be shown through an effective teachers explanation of how the lesson connects to essential questions or through students comments.

    The teacher can connect the lesson to prior knowledge by asking students to relate concepts to their own experiences or to what they have learned in other classes or courses.

    In cases where the observer is not present when the teacher introduces the lesson, the observer may assess the teachers use of the lesson objective through questioning students.

    For Level 5 All evidence supporting Level 3 is

    present, as well as two or more of the following:Teacher explains/demonstrates concept(s) in a

    way that actively involves students in the

    learning process and promotes student interest

    in the content.

    Students make independent connections

    through classroom interactions demonstrating

    that they understand the content levels ranging

    from basic to complex.

    Students, when possible, consider multipleperspectives and approaches to learning. 1

    The following best describes what is observed:

    Teachers explanations / demonstrations of

    content are clear and accurate. Theexplanations build student understanding of

    content and consider multiple perspectives /

    approaches to solve problems or interpret text

    / content.

    Teacher makes relevant connections with

    other content areas, students experiences andinterests, or current events.

    Teacher uses developmentally appropriate

    language and explanations.

    Teacher gives clear, precise definitions and

    uses specific academic language2 that is

    appropriate and content-relevant.

    When an explanation is not effectively leading

    students to understand the content, the teacher

    adjusts quickly and uses an alternative way toexplain the concept effectively.

    Presentation of content includes modeling by

    the teacher to demonstrate his or her

    performance expectations.

    Presentation of content includes logical

    sequencing and all essential information.

    Students may ask clarifying questions

    providing information and feedback that the

    teacher uses to monitor and adjust instruction.

    The following best describes what is observed:

    Teachers explanations are generally clear,

    coherent, and accurate with a few exceptions,but the explanations may not be entirely

    effective in building student understanding of

    content or offering multiple perspectives/

    approaches to solve problems or interpret

    text/content.

    Teacher makes connections with other content

    areas, students experiences and interests, orcurrent events, but the connections do not

    make the content relevant or build student

    understanding and interest.

    Teacher uses some language and explanations

    that may not be developmentally appropriate.

    Teacher sometimes gives definitions that are

    not completely clear or precise, or the teacher

    sometimes may not use academic languagewhen it is appropriate to do so.

    When an explanation is not effectively leading

    students to understand the concept, the

    teacher may sometimes move on or re-explain

    content in the same way rather than provide an

    effective alternative explanation.

    Presentation of content by teacher includes

    modeling by teacher that does not accurately

    demonstrate his or her performance

    expectations.

    Students may ask some clarifying questions

    showing that they are confused by the

    teachers explanations.

    The following best describes wh

    Teachers explanations m

    and activities to provide students the

    opportunity to move beyond their current

    mastery level.

    Teachers activities and materials sustainstudent attention at all learning levels / styles

    throughout the lesson.

    The following best describes what is observed:

    Teacher makes the lesson challenging4 to

    students.

    Teacher ensures the lesson meets students at

    all learning levels/styles.

    Teacher effectively uses appropriately

    complex text, tasks, and activities to support

    students mastery of objectives.5

    The following best describes what is observed:

    Teacher makes lesson reachable to students;

    however, there is no evidence of challenge for

    students.

    Teachers delivery of the lesson attends to a

    limited learning level/style and does not meet

    the needs of all students.

    Teacher sporadically or occasionally uses

    appropriately complex text and tasks in terms

    of content and vocabulary to support studentsmastery of planned learning objectives.

    Examples of additional resources include manipulatives, teacher-created materials, and it ems from various real-world sources (e.g., banks, libraries, museums, etc.).

    3 To make content reachable for all students, a teacher mightdifferentiatecontent, process, or product (using strategies that might include flexible grouping, chunking grade appropriate texts, or tiered assignmentsthat students are able to access the lesson so that they eventually meet or exceed grade level standards.

    4In order for strategies to lead students to a deeper understanding of the content, a teacher must understand students current levels of performance and then purposefully design instructional strategies that will sclearning to a deeper level so that they meet or exceed grade level expectations. Scaffolding is defined by breaking tasks down into smaller elements. Examples of scaffolding include activating prior knowledge, brsmaller parts, and modeling or having students verbalize their thinking process. There are many effective techniques for scaffolding learning; however, scaffolding should be well executed and appropriate to the Conversely, the techniques can also be used ineffectively. In order to be effective, the scaffolding technique must be well executed and appropriate to the objectives, and thus succeed in addressing the students m

    For Level 5 All evidence supporting Level 3 is present, as well as three or

    more of the following:

    Students are provided with choices and taught how to self -select

    strategies that will help them master lesson objectives.

    Students can explain or demonstrate the strategies they use and

    explain how the strategies relate to what they are learning in terms of

    content standards.

    Teacher consistently engages students in activities/ experiences

    where inquiry, curiosity, and exploration are valued.

    The teacher and/or students model and implementstrategies that

    The following best describes what is observed:

    Strategies are aligned to the lesson objectives

    and have a clear, intentional purpose.

    There is an appropriate balance between

    teacher-directed instruction and student-

    centered learning based on the lesson.

    Strategies enable students to meet or exceed

    lesson objectives with appropriate scaffolding

    and differentiation.1

    Strategies sufficiently allow students to

    practice, apply, and demonstrate content

    mastery based on appropriate grade-level

    expectations through discussion and/ or

    writing about complex text, tasks, or concepts.

    The teacher models and implementsstrategies that teach or reinforce two of

    The following best describes what is

    observed:

    Strategies are somewhat aligned to

    the lesson objectives and

    have a purpose relative to

    accomplishing the objective, while

    others keep students busy without

    a purposeful use of time.

    Most of the instruction is teacher-

    directed with student-centered

    learning happening sporadically

    and with little connection to the

    lesson.

    Differentiation and scaffolding

    strategies are not appropriate for

    all students and only some

    students meet lesson objectives.

    Strategies insufficiently allow

    students to practice, apply, and

    demonstrate what they are

    learning through discussion and/

    or writing about complex text,

    tasks, or concepts.

    Teacher attempts to implement

    problem-solving strategies without

    effectively modeling or engaging

    students in the process, and/or

    students struggle to implement

    strategies without direct

    TEACH 5: USE STRATEGIES THAT DEVELOP HIGHER-LEVEL THINKING SKILLS

    6 Synthesis of complex materials refers to students logically combining ideas from diverse text/or content to arrive at a new idea, understanding, defense, analysis, application, or creation.7 Thinking skills should be aligned with the standard-based objectives level of rigor. Per the standard to which a teacher is teaching, it may or may not be appropriate to see a lesson only move from remembering

    based on where the teacher is within a unit of study.8Teacher might model his or her thinking using text to generate thoughts, grapple with, and/ or ask questions of text as a foundation for students to begin developing their own questions and strategies for each other using text as a result of mA math example of this descriptor is a teacher using a think aloud to decontextualize a math word problem or pattern so that students see how the words equate to mathematical operations (word problem) or so that students understand horepeat (pattern).

    three or more of the following:

    Teacher uses strategies that challenge students to probe for

    higher-order understanding, synthesize complex materials, and

    arrive at new understanding.6

    Students independently generate their own questions and

    strategies to demonstrate understanding and appropriate

    application of concepts.

    Teacher thoroughly teaches and engages students in tasks,activities, or strategies that include multiple types ofthinkingrelevant to learning objectives and content; these include:

    oanalytical thinking- where students analyze, compare andcontrast, and evaluateandexplain information;

    opracticalthinking- where students use, apply, andimplementwhat they learnin real-life scenarios;

    ocreativethinking,- where students create,design,imagine, suppose, and generate a variety of ideas and

    problems.

    Teacher provides opportunities where students

    monitortheirthinking to ensure that they understand whatthey are learning,areattending to critical information, and areaware of the learning strategies theyareusing and why.

    The following best describes what is observed:

    Teacher engages students in activities, tasks, and/or

    discussions that build on a solid foundation of

    knowledge leading to higher order thinking skills7.Teacher models his or her own thought process for

    generating and asking questions so that students begin

    to generate their own questions. 8

    Teacher provides helpfulsuggestions and/ or redirects

    with questions rather than simply providing the

    answers.

    Teachers questions push students beyond their initialthinking and require them to cite evidence.

    Teacher thoroughly teaches and engages students intasks, activities, or strategies that address one type of

    knowledge, but rarely bring students

    to higher order thinking.

    Teacher shares his or her own thought

    process for generating and asking

    questions, but does not ask students

    to develop their own questions as a

    result.

    Teacher provides minimal suggestions

    and redirects students by either

    telling the answer or asking, and then

    Teacher checks for understanding at all key

    moments using a variety of methods.

    Teacher circulates during instructional

    activities to support engagement and thinking,

    and to formatively asses students work inorder to make adjustments to instruction, offer

    feedback, and allow students to offer specific

    and relevant feedback.

    Teacher provides oral and written feedback

    that is frequent, academically focused, and of

    high quality.

    misunderstandings and addresses them byredirecting questions

    Teacher is able to address student

    misunderstandings effectively without taking

    away from the flow of the lesson or losing the

    engagement of students who do understand.

    The following best describes what is observed:

    Teacher periodically checks for understanding

    of content by addressing misunderstandings

    with another approach/strategy.

    Teacher maintains the level of engagement of

    the students by circulating during instructional

    activities to support engagement and

    formatively assess students work in order toadjust instruction and offer feedback.

    Teacher uses scaffolding techniques as needed

    to enable students to construct their own

    understandings.

    Teacher responds to misunderstanding by

    using a variety of techniques and strategies

    that are specific and establish studentunderstanding.

    The following best describes what is observed:

    Teacher sometimes checks for understanding

    of content, but the teachers misses several key

    moments.

    Teacher attempts to make adjustments to the

    lesson, but the adjustments are not effective

    based on formative assessment of studentswork and lack feedback.

    Teacher may primarily respond to

    misunderstandings by using scaffolding

    techniques that are teacher-driven when

    student-driven techniques could have been

    effective.

    Teacher may sometimes persist in using a

    particular technique for responding to amisunderstanding even when it is not

    succeeding.

    The following best describes wh

    Teacher rarely or never ch

    understanding of content,

    misses nearly all key mom

    Teacher does not attempt

    or formatively assess studthe lesson.

    Teacher may only respond

    misunderstandings by usi

    techniques that are teache

    student-driven techniques

    effective.

    Teacher persists in using a

    technique for responding

    misunderstanding even wsucceeding.

    Notes:

    A teacher does not necessarily have to check with every student in order to gauge the understanding of the class (get the pulse). A series of questions posed to the entire class can enable a teacher to get the pulse of the class if the understanding using strategies like fist-to-five, whole-class white board responses, etc. If the teacher finds that many students did not understand some part of the lesson, and immediately reteaches that part to the entire class, this sgetting the pulse of the class because the teacher gained enough information to be able to adjust subsequent instruction.

    For some lessons, checking the pulse of the class may not be an appropriate standard. For example, if students are spending the majority of the period working on individual essays and the teacher is conferencing with a few studentfor the teacher to check the understanding of the entire class. In these cases, the teacher should be judged based on how deeply and effectively s/he checks for the understanding of the students with whom s/he is working.

    In some lessons, it is appropriate to check for understanding of directions, in addition to checking for understanding of content. However, a teacher who only checks for understanding of directions and rarely or never checks for undeeffectively checking for understanding.

    At some points in a lesson, it is not appropriate to respond immediately to student misunderstandings (for example, at the beginning of an inquiry-based lesson or stopping to respond to a single students misunderstanding would beinstructional time for the rest of the class). In such cases, an effective teacher might wait until later in the lesson to respond and scaffold learning. Observers should be sensitive to these situations and not penalize a teac her for failing tmisunderstandings immediately when it would be more effective to wait, provided that the teacher makes some arrangement to address the misunderstandings later and makes this clear to the students.

    students, but not others, or the teacher

    demonstrates little rapport with students.Teacher rarely reinforces positive behavior

    and good academic work, doing so for some

    students, but not for others in a meaningful

    way.

    Teacher occasionally promotes an

    environment where students work hard.

    Students lack engagement in their work

    and/or their moments of engagement are

    responses to compliance.12

    Some students are willing to take academic

    teacher and their peers, but there are some

    exceptions.

    The following best describes wh

    There may be little or no e

    rapport between the teach

    Teacher may never reinfor

    and good academic work, o

    only a few students.

    challenges and risk failure

    Students may frequently b

    the teacher or their peers.

    Notes:

    An example of students being - supportive of their peers is students collaborating and helping each other.

    Brief interruptions due to student excitement (for example, when a student accidentally shouts out an answer because s/he is excited to respond to the question) should not be counted against a teacher unless they occur constantly awith the lesson or with the ability of other students to respond.

    10 For example, students are encouraged to answer questions and feel comfortable asking the teacher for help.11 For example, students listen and do not interrupt when their peers ask or answer questions.12 For example, students might spend significant time off-task or require frequent reminders; students might give up easily; or the teacher might communicate messages about the importance of the work, but there i

    students have internalized them.13 For example, some students might be reluctant to answer questions or take on challenging assignments; some students might be hesitant to ask the teacher for help even when they need it; or some students migh

    negatively when a peer answers a question incorrectly.
