Domain and Components are used for teacher evaluation in conjunction with measures of student growth. Measures of student growth are aligned with the Caddo Parish Public School System’s accountability measures as outlined in the Louisiana Accountability System.

Working under the direction of the principal or assigned evaluator, teachers administer the classroom in accordance with School Board policies and use instructional and administrative skills to promote educational development of each student. Classroom teachers fulfill duties and responsibilities associated with instruction, supervision, classroom management, student assessment and evaluation, communication and collaboration, and extracurricular involvement.

Teachers are held accountable for meeting the Teaching Skills, Knowledge, and Responsibilities Performance Standards, research‑based standards based on twenty‑six indicators and operationalized against a five‑point scale rubric. Teachers are also responsible for the academic growth of their students.

The Teaching Skills, Knowledge, and Responsibilities Performance Standards are divided into four domains. Descriptors for each indicator may be found in the TAP Rubric.

12 indicators:

• Standards and Objectives: Planning effective lessons aligned to the standards is dependent upon the teacher’s ability to create and communicate clearly defined learning outcomes or objectives appropriate for the students. In many ways, this indicator is the foundation for all other indicators because if the teacher is not clear about what he or she wants students to know and be able to do as a result of the lesson, the balance of the lesson cannot be properly developed or implemented.
  
  Both the students and the teacher should understand what is to be accomplished during each lesson.
• Motivating Students: This indicator focuses on the teacher’s ability to organize and present the content in a manner that motivates students to learn. For a teacher to be able to develop these types of learning experiences, a teacher must have in‑depth knowledge of the students he/she teaches. This indicator connects strongly to Teacher Knowledge of Students.
• Presenting Instructional Content: This indicator deals with the method by which content is taught within a lesson. The use of visuals and a teacher’s ability to clearly communicate performance expectations in a concise and logically sequenced manner are addressed by this indicator’s descriptors. The use of visuals with examples, illustrations, analogies, and/or labels are important tools to use when introducing new concepts and can lead students to mastery of specific skills in a more efficient manner.
• Lesson Structure and Pacing: This indicator blends time and form as it applies to instruction. It addresses the effective segmenting of the lesson so that sufficient time is allocated to all parts of the lesson to best support student learning.
• Activities and Materials: This indicator addresses the variety and appropriateness of activities and materials a teacher chooses to implement during a lesson. Using a variety of materials supports diverse learning styles.
• Questioning: Questioning is an art that reveals a great deal about a teacher’s effectiveness. The rubric provides a basic framework for the types of questions to ask within a lesson and how teachers should lead students in responding.
• Academic Feedback: Focuses on how teachers respond to students’ comments and questions. The descriptors address the quality of feedback that supports learning rather than merely informing students of accuracy.
• Grouping Students: Deals with the instructional arrangements of the students during a lesson, focusing on grouping for instruction and activities and accountability for work.
• Teacher Content Knowledge: Addresses the teacher’s knowledge of the content taught and ability to implement strategies that…
