"What is the Goal of Teacher Evaluation?" has been created to provide introductory information for all educators within the state of Montana to better understand fundamental paradigm shifts in current teacher evaluation systems within any given school or school district. The current Board of Public Education statute reflects a positive shift to supporting educators in their individual professional journey to hone their craft as an educator. As of July 1, 2023, ARM 10.55.724 outlines requirements for Montana educators as it pertains to evaluation processes and procedures. The course offers both the old and new statutes to analyze the Board's philosophy of promoting individual professional growth for all staff. Explore the Danielson Framework for Teaching and key components all associated with the complexity of teaching and how to best apply these factors to current district practices.
