Goal Setting for Student Progress
• Appropriate measures of academic progress are determined • During first month of school, teachers set goals for improving student
progress based on the results of performance measures • Midyear review of student progress goal; modify strategies• End-of-year review of goal attainment
Observations • Probationary teachers observed many times throughout the year• Continuing contract teachers observed several times a year• Additional observations at building administrator’s discretion • Observations last the duration of a full lesson
Documentation Log
• Includes both specific required artifacts and teacher-selected artifacts • Artifacts provide evidence of meeting selected performance standards• Provides teacher with opportunity to demonstrate quality work• Evaluator reviews annually (by end of first semester for probationary
teachers; before last week of school for all teachers)
Student Surveys
• Teachers survey their students prior to end of first semester (e.g., K-8: survey entire class; if students change classes, survey two classes;
9-12: survey two classes per semester)• Teachers enter summary of the results in their Documentation Log

TELL Guiding Principles
![Page 16: Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56816260550346895dd2bcf9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Core Beliefs
The identified teacher characteristics and behaviors
represent the model world language teacher.
![Page 17: Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56816260550346895dd2bcf9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Core Beliefs
World language teachers can become models if the model
teacher is defined.
![Page 18: Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56816260550346895dd2bcf9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Core Beliefs
The identified characteristics and behaviors are intended to guide
individual teacher growth toward the model and are not
necessarily tied to teacher appraisal.

A Division Coordinator’s Perspective
“I believe the TELL Project will help us better support teachers and retain them in our profession. Teachers, like students, need to have clear expectations and understandings of what an effective teacher looks like and how they should strive to perform in today’s world language classroom and community.”
