Seven elements embedded in the Marzano Evaluation Model that are correlated with successful implementation of the Common Core State Standards. Deliberate Practice: Chosen element, based on previous school year data, that is deliberately focused on for the current school year, and given a score based on the ‘growth’ in the implementation of element.

14. + Domain 1 Any of the 41 elements may be scored upon Only instructional strategies that apply at time of observation elements for which the teacher provides substantial behavioral evidence, OR elements which are more appropriate for the lesson but were not observed Unannounced 10-20 minutes Data points may count towards Final Evaluation. Informal observations may serve as feedback only. Informal Observations

Observational Session: Planning & Preparing

Counts 20% of the Instructional Practice Score of the Final Evaluation May be the same element as the ‘Teacher Selected Element” But must have previous year’s data to serve as both.
