TEACHER SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL

Pillar I: Embracing High Standards


Great teaching is the number one school-based factor in improving student achievement. Great teachers embrace high expectations for students, use data effectively, are leaders within their school, and ensure they are using best practices in their teaching. You can use this self-assessment tool to evaluate your school's leadership and culture and learn ways to improve your practice. You can use this tool as an individual, with your grade-level team, your whole school faculty, or any other organization within your school community.

Pillar I: Embracing High Standards

Embracing high standards for all students is crucial to Tennessee's success. Research shows that when teachers increase their expectations for student success, those students make academic gains. The questions below will help you assess how well you and your school embrace and communicate high standards.

1. My school sets high standards for all students, regardless of track or level. *This question is required.(For example, 2011 SCORE Prize winner Power Center Academy begins the conversation about college-readiness with its students from Day 1.)
2. Policies and structures in the school foster and support high expectations. *This question is required.(For example, 2012 SCORE Prize winner Covington High School posts the ACT college-readiness standards in its classrooms and requires its teachers to devote part of their instructional time to the ACT.)
3. School leaders communicate expectations clearly with teachers and staff. *This question is required.
4. School expectations and standards are communicated clearly to parents and the community. *This question is required.(For example, 2011 SCORE Prize winner Fairview Elementary hosts events for parents and community partners to invite them to become partners in children's learning and to inform them about what students should know and be able to do. The school also uses newsletters to share information about the transition to Common Core and their school's achievement and growth data.)
5. My school uses rigorous curriculum and assessments that align with its high standards for students. *This question is required.
6. My school measures progress toward the goals it expects students to meet, both formatively and summatively. *This question is required.

8. I ensure students in my class know what is expected of them. *This question is required.
9. I am held accountable by school leaders for meeting expectations. *This question is required.
