2022 Danielson Framework for Teaching

Starting in the 2024-25 school year, districts and independent charters in the Wisconsin Educator Effectiveness (EE) System state model must implement 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 previously used with a focus on:

Educational rigor and resources for all students

Support for prioritization and flexibility based on local context

Supporting social and emotional learning

Authentic engagement with families and communities

Knowing and valuing students

Alignment of the structure and language of the framework

Required Processes & Flexibilities

What's Required?  6 EE Processes

Brief overview of the six learning-centered processes required in the System. See the more detailed individual requirements resources on this page for descriptions of robust implementation that lead to meaningful results.

EE System Flexibilities

Available implementation options that can streamline EE activities to reduce workload and provide professional supports.

EE in Practice

Research results on the EE System linked below indicate that robust, learning-centered systemic implementation of the EE System contributes positively to schools by improving professional performance feedback and student achievement, as well as closing achievement gaps. Findings also suggest that the Wisconsin EE System improves school culture and staff retention rates. These resources give a snapshot of beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of implementation for each of the six EE System required processes that can strongly contribute to positive outcomes.
