All districts and BOCES are required to use the following state-approved definition of teacher
effectiveness for teacher evaluation.
Effective teachers in the state of Colorado have the knowledge, skills, and commitments
that ensure equitable learning opportunities and growth for all students. They strive to close
achievement gaps and to prepare diverse student populations for postsecondary success. Effective
teachers facilitate mastery of content and skill development, and identify and employ appropriate
strategies for students who are not achieving mastery. They also develop in students the skills,
interests and abilities necessary to be lifelong learners, as well as skills needed for democratic
and civic participation. Effective teachers communicate high expectations to students and
their families and find ways to engage them in a mutually supportive teaching and learning
environment. Because effective teachers understand that the work of ensuring meaningful learning
opportunities for all students cannot happen in isolation, they engage in collaboration, continuous
reflection, on-going learning and leadership within the profession.

2. The Colorado Teacher Quality Standards and Their Related Elements and
Artifacts1
The Teacher Quality Standards outline the knowledge and skills required of an effective teacher and will be used to
evaluate teachers in the state of Colorado. All school districts and BOCES shall base their evaluations of licensed
classroom teachers on the full set of Teacher Quality Standards and associated detailed elements included below, or
shall adopt their own locally developed standards that meet or exceed the Teacher Quality Standards and elements.
School districts and BOCES that adopt their own locally developed standards shall crosswalk those standards
to the Teacher Quality Standards and elements, so that the school district or BOCES is able to report the data
required.

The Colorado State Model Educator Evaluation System for teachers is intended to provide support, incentives
and rewards for teachers as they engage in the challenging work of enabling and empowering students to learn.
The teacher effectiveness definition and Colorado Teacher Quality Standards provide clear guidance about
state priorities for effective teaching. The use of multiple measures for teacher performance and guidelines for
ensuring that these measures are of high quality will provide a more accurate and nuanced picture of the teacher’s
professional practice and impact on measures of student learning. The use of performance standards to rate
teacher performance allows more precision about professional expectations, identifies those teachers in need of
improvement and recognizes performance that is of exceptional quality.
The measures used to determine the teacher’s effectiveness rating emphasize the use of high-quality measures that
result in a body of evidence concerning a teacher’s performance, and include:
y Measures of professional practice (Standards I-V) selected by the district that meet state technical guidelines,
including formal observations plus at least one other measure.
y Multiple measures of student academic growth (Standard VI) that are appropriate for the teacher’s teaching
assignment, that represent the best available assessments for that assignment, that also include growth scores
shared among groups of teachers and that meet state technical guidelines.
y Procedures for prioritizing or weighting measures of performance that ensure that measures of student learning
represent at least 50 percent of total performance and are prioritized by technical quality, and that measures of
professional practice are prioritized by local objectives.

4. Procedures for Conducting Evaluations
Procedures for conducting evaluations may be determined on a local level, provided that they ensure that data is
regularly collected, associated feedback and improvement opportunities are regularly provided and teachers receive
a formal evaluation and performance standard designation by the end of each academic year.

5. Performance Rating Levels
Four performance rating levels (or performance standards): Highly Effective, Effective, Partially Effective and
Ineffective. The status implications described in Exhibit 3 apply for each teacher performance evaluation rating.

COLORADO STATE MODEL EVALUATION SYSTEM FOR TEACHERS | 47

6. Appeals Process
An appeals process that permits non-probationary teachers to appeal a second consecutive performance
evaluation that falls below Effective. Additional information about Rules governing Colorado’s state-approved
appeals process may be found here.
The state framework for the teacher evaluation system, developed by the State Council for Educator Effectiveness
(SCEE), illustrates the relationships of the system components and the weight professional practice plays with
respect to measures of student learning. As Exhibit 20 illustrates, Quality Standards I through V deal with
professional practice while Quality Standard VI deals with measures of student learning.

Teacher Evaluation Worksheet
This form should be completed by the evaluator prior to the final evaluation and goal-setting meeting held each
spring. The teacher and evaluator should discuss the contents of this form, the accompanying Summary Evaluation
Sheet, and the Goal-Setting Form and at that time they should agree on the professional practices ratings as well as
the recommended actions for improvement, resources needed to accomplish those actions and a determination of
how the teacher and evaluator will know improvements have been made.
