Teacher Evaluation
Evidence-First™ Scoring in K-12 Schools with the LoTi® Teacher Evaluation
Progress Over Test Scores
Effective teacher evaluation systems should do more than just assess performance—they should drive growth, ensure fairness, and provide actionable insights. National trends in teacher evaluation reform are deemphasizing test scores and focusing on teachers' instructional skills, classroom management prowess, and overall professionalism. By shifting from subjective scoring to an evidence-based model, schools and educator preparation programs can foster a more equitable, transparent, and meaningful evaluation process.
Drive Growth with Evidence-First™
By embracing these core evaluation principles, the LoTi® Teacher Evaluation uses the Evidence-First™ scoring approach to transform the stale teacher evaluation grind into a revitalized tool for meaningful professional growth—one that values fairness, fosters improvement, and ultimately enhances student learning.
Actionable & Growth-Focused Feedback
Evaluations should empower educators with clear, timely, and practical feedback that directly informs their professional development. This means providing specific guidance on strengths, areas for improvement, and tailored learning opportunities.
Multiple Measures of Practice
A holistic evaluation must consider multiple measures of teacher effectiveness, including classroom observations, student engagement, and instructional impact, rather than relying on a single data point.
Alignment with School & District Goals
Teacher evaluations should reflect the broader educational mission, taking into account district priorities, school culture, and student needs to ensure relevance and impact.
Fairness & Objectivity
A valid and reliable evaluation system eliminates bias by relying on observable evidence rather than subjective judgment. Trained evaluators should use structured, research-backed tools to ensure consistency across assessments.
