The document outlines standards and indicators that are used to evaluate teachers in areas such as curriculum, planning, assessment, decision-making, shared responsibility, and professional responsibilities.

There are 5 standards that are evaluated: curriculum, planning and assessment; teaching all students; family and community engagement; professional culture; and growth and professional development.

Elements of curriculum and planning that are evaluated include subject matter knowledge, child and adolescent development, rigorous standards-based unit design, and assessment.
