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. Demonstration of the teacher’s proficiency in Learner and Learning is evidenced by:
 1.1 Learner Development
The teacher planned instruction based on the learning and developmental levels of all students. Key indicators include: planning instruction, aligning instruction with student learning needs, using a variety of approaches and resources, providing adaptation of instruction.
 1.2 Learner Differences
The teacher recognized and fostered individual differences to establish a positive classroom culture. Key indicators include: getting to know all students, using that knowledge of students to create a culture of respect, meeting needs of all students.
 1.3 Learning Environment
The teacher established a classroom environment conducive to learning. Key indicators include: collaborating with students, establishing a safe, respectful and academically challenging environment.
