Wisconsin Educator Effectiveness System State Model to Implement Updated,
Danielson Framework for Teaching in 2024-25
Starting in the 2024-25 school year, the Wisconsin Educator Effectiveness (EE) System state model will be implementing the 2022 Danielson Framework for Teaching (FfT) as the framework for the evaluation of teaching. This updated framework features many improvements over the 2013 version currently in use with a focus on:
- Educational rigor and resources for all students,
- Knowing and valuing students,
- Supporting social and emotional learning,
- Authentic engagement with families and communities,
- Support for prioritization and flexibility based on local context, and
- Alignment of the structure and language of the framework.
Resources available to support the transition to this new framework for the 2024- 25 school year, include:
- New certification for new observers and recertification training for current observers of teachers aligned to the updated framework (coming in June)
- Revised process manuals, policy guides, and other resources for teachers and administrators that reflect the new framework (coming soon), and
- Revised electronic evaluation management forms in Frontline Education and Google format to reflect the new framework.
DPI will continue to provide the ongoing supports to help implement the WI EE System and the new rubric, including the following resources:
- CESA supports,
- TeachForward video library for observation calibration,
- LinkedIn Learning to support professional development, and
- Library of resources and professional learning.
- System process flexibilities
