The Colorado Teacher Quality Standards
Excellent teaching is vital to every student’s success: teachers have the
honored role of helping to prepare their students for the world ahead.
To have maximum impact on student learning, teachers must develop and
evolve along with their students. This involves self-reflection, increased levels
of meaningful feedback on instructional practice and an overall commitment
to continuously refining their craft.
Identifying the complex components of quality teaching is a fundamental
step in supporting teachers’ professional growth as well as developing a
fair and reliable evaluation process; both aspects of the Great Teachers and
Leaders Act. The statewide Teacher Quality Standards provide this shared
understanding of the essentials of great teaching—a common vision.
Just as the Colorado Academic Standards provide common expectations for
student learning, the Teacher Quality Standards outline the knowledge and
skills required of an excellent teacher. They are the core of the evaluation
process and offer a tool for teacher self-reflection, goal setting and ongoing
professional growth.
The Teacher Quality Standards are foundational to providing every student
with what they deserve—excellent teachers who are consistently supported
in their efforts to improve their practice and influence student learning in
new and powerful ways.
