Wicomico County Teacher Evaluation Model The Wicomico County Teacher Evaluation Model is comprised of qualitative professional practice (50%) and quantitative student growth (50%) components. The Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching was used as the starting framework for the professional practice components. The Framework for Teaching is divided into four domains of professional practice: Planning and Preparation, Classroom Environment, Instruction, and Professional Responsibilities. A committee made up of representatives from the Wicomico County Education Association, Association for Public School Administrators and Supervisors, and central office staff developed indicators and rubrics to describe performance levels specific to Wicomico County. Likewise, the committee developed guidelines for the development and implementation of Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) to address the student growth half of the evaluation model. Professional Practice The professional practice component for teacher evaluation is comprised of four domains and a total of twenty (20) indicators. Professional practice contributes 50% to the evaluation rating, with each Domain worth 12.5%. Rubrics have been developed for each indicator which identify performance as being ineffective, developing, effective or highly effective. See pages 13-19 for Professional Practice Rubric.
