Identifying the
Evidence
What is evidence and how do we use it
meaningfully?
Types of Evidence
Direct observation of teacher practice occurs
when the evaluator is physically present in the
classroom or venue where the teacher is present
and teaching. (Mandatory Evidence)
Artifacts documenting teacher practice include
but are not limited to lesson plans, student work,
teacher
notes,
student feedback.
