Indistar - Educator Effectiveness

Five Key Areas of Effectiveness
District and School Structure and Culture
Educator Effectiveness
Family and Community Involvement
Teaching and Learning
Technical and Adaptive Leadership

Effective educators exhibit five interconnected qualities. First, in their interactions with students, effective educators inspire students to become lifelong learners. They are culturally competent and create a caring environment where connections to family and community are evident. Next, it is imperative that educators manage the classroom in such a way as to prepare the learning environment and curriculum so students feel safe and respected, and are engaged and motivated to achieve. Third, with regard to style of instruction, effective educators have extensive knowledge of the content. They deliver that content through teaching methods that approach the curriculum with fidelity and make connections to other content areas. The content is enhanced with aspects of critical thinking and problem-solving that challenges students to reach beyond their personal expectations. Fourth, effective educators use multiple assessment measures reflecting student achievement of intended outcomes to evaluate the effectiveness of instruction and make appropriate adjustments. Last, effective educators focus on continuous improvement of practice. They reflect and collaborate with the leadership and with peers on strengths and weaknesses and use these data to make improvements as a result.
