Teacher Evaluation Rubrics - Construct 1: Learner and Learning Artifacts Teacher Evaluation Rubrics - Construct 1: Learner and Learning To ensure that each student learns new knowledge and skills, teachers must understand that learning and developmental patterns vary individually, that students bring unique individual differences to the learning process, and that students need supportive and safe learning environments to thrive.
