Colorado State Model Evaluation System
Colorado's state-provided teacher evaluation system organized around Quality Standards 1 through 4. The system was developed under Senate Bill 10-191 and requires that 50% of a teacher's evaluation be based on professional practices (observed and non-observed) and 50% on measures of student learning.
Available as the state model for all Colorado school districts under SB 10-191.
