The Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model really activates teachers to think about their practice and growing as professionals. It helps us instill that kind of thinking—that we’re all constantly striving for growth and creating the right environment for it.

We love the fact that the Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model allows us to align multiple elements to a single quality standard—and in a state like Colorado—where you have multiple quality standards—that’s a huge help.

I love using FTEM because it gives me very specific examples of how I can help my students succeed in the classroom. It gives me measurable ways to check myself and to check my students and it gives me great strategies to utilize in the classroom to get my students where they need to be.

It's really important that all of your systems are aligned because then you can speak the same language, no matter what. Everybody is working towards that same vision of instruction and the evaluation tool just points out the different aspects of your model, of your vision, and it helps you make sure that everybody's together and aligned and it's cohesive.
