Framework for Teaching  Every Role

Evaluate every role in your district

A district does not only employ classroom teachers. It employs counselors, psychologists, social workers, nurses, librarians, instructional coaches, paraprofessionals and administrators, and every one of them needs a fair evaluation on the same annual cycle.

The Danielson Group publishes a rubric for classroom teachers. For the other roles, most districts are left to stretch that rubric to fit or build something from scratch.

We maintain role-specific rubrics for 14 positions, each available in both the 2013 and 2022 editions:

  • Classroom roles - Teacher, Special Education Teacher, Career and Technical Educator, Online Educator
  • Instructional support - Instructional Specialist, Library or Media Specialist, Teacher Consultant for Behavior, Paraprofessional
  • Student services - School Counselor, School Psychologist, School Nurse, School Social Worker, Therapeutic Specialist
  • Leadership - Administrator

Every rubric follows the same four-domain structure your administrators already know. An evaluator who can observe a classroom can observe a counseling session without learning a second system, and a district summary comes out as one report rather than several. Tell us which roles you evaluate →
