The document compares teacher evaluation models from Tulsa and Marzano and recommends adopting Marzano's model for Yukon Public Schools. Key points include: Marzano's model provides more opportunities for high scores and targeted feedback across questioning, guided practice, and active learning indicators. It has tools for easy development of remediation and coaching plans aligned to evaluation. Marzano's model is formative and summative using a common language from research, while Tulsa's is only summative. Adopting Marzano would maintain Yukon's planned professional development continuum and build more potential for student achievement and success with high-stakes testing.

Guiding Questions
In perspective with implementation of the rigorous Common Core
Standards and Assessments explore the following questions:
1. Which model will lead to improved planning, teaching, and
ultimately student success with high-stakes testing?
2. Which model would build more potential for success on the 35%
of the educator’s evaluation based on student achievement data?
3. Which model would maintain the seamless common language
with the professional development plan Yukon has planned?
4. Which model is best for the success of students, teachers, and
administrators of Yukon Public Schools?

Editor's Notes
In Tulsa’s model, Indicator #9 it states questioning is “primarily at a lower or mid-level of Bloom’s taxonomy which is not aligned with the rigor of Common Core Standards. In the Tulsa model very different elements are all clumped together under one indicator. The teacher would receive only 1 score for all of the elements that are listed above. To show growth, all of the different elements would have to improve at the same time since they are not considered separately. In the Marzano model, these elements would be listed as separate indicators. The teacher would get a score on each one.
In Marzano’s model there are 17 separate indicators, like the one on this slide, that cover the same elements that are all clumped in the one Indicator #9 in Tulsa’s model – questioning, engagement in active learning, guided practice, student skills and interests – each of those areas is specifically addressed in separate indicators. It is specific enough that teachers know exactly what the evaluator is looking for during an observation.
