Job Title:

Classroom Teacher

AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY

Domains and Components will be used for teacher evaluation in conjunction with measures of student growth. Measures of student growth will be 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, the teacher administers the classroom in accordance with School Board policies and uses instructional and administrative skills to promote the educational development of each student. 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 TAP Teaching Skills, Knowledge, and Responsibilities Performance Standards, research‑based standards based on twenty‑six indicators and operationalized against a five‑point scale rubric. They 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.

This domain includes 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.

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.

All of these may not be included in one lesson, but they are used effectively and appropriately for the content and students taught. Components of this standard include effective lesson planning, educational best practices, and results‑oriented delivery of instructional techniques.

Lesson Structure and Pacing
This indicator blends time and form as it applies to instruction. It addresses effective segmenting of the lesson so that sufficient time is allocated to all parts of the lesson to best support student learning. It also connects to logical sequencing and segmenting under Presenting Instructional Content.

Activities and Materials
This indicator addresses the variety and appropriateness of activities and materials that a teacher chooses to implement during a lesson. By using a variety of materials and activities, teachers can address various learning styles and intelligences. The criteria used by teachers in choosing materials and activities should…
