50 | COLORADO STATE MODEL EVALUATION SYSTEM FOR TEACHERS

Rubric for Evaluating Colorado Teachers


Effective teachers in the state of Colorado have the knowledge, skills and commitments needed to provide excellent
and equitable learning opportunities and growth for all students. They strive to support growth and development,
close achievement gaps and to prepare diverse student populations for postsecondary and workforce success
(See Appendix E). Effective teachers facilitate mastery of content and skill development, and employ and adjust
evidence-based strategies and approaches for students who are not achieving mastery and students who need
acceleration. They also develop in students the skills, interests and abilities necessary to be lifelong learners, as well
as for democratic and civic participation. Effective teachers communicate high expectations to students and their
families and utilize diverse strategies 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.

QUALITY STANDARD I
Teachers demonstrate mastery of and pedagogical expertise in the content they teach. The elementary teacher is an expert in
literacy and mathematics and is knowledgeable in all other content that he or she teaches (e.g., science, social studies, arts,
physical education, or world languages). The secondary teacher has knowledge of literacy and mathematics and is an expert in
his or her content endorsement area(s).
