Equity Impacts Outcomes
A Coherent Evaluation System—Not Just a Rubric
Support teachers and administrators with a connected workbook that turns the 2024 CSTPs and the 28 Elements into actionable goal setting, classroom observation, feedback, and year-end reflection.
Districts do not need “one more form.” They need a clear, aligned system that helps leaders and teachers understand what high-quality, equity-centered practice looks like in action.
This CSTP Evaluation Toolkit option has a structured workbook that connects teacher goals, formal observations, drop-in feedback, evidence collection, and professional reflection—so evaluation becomes a tool for growth, not compliance.
Using Google Sheets, data on teacher goal selection and teacher growth can be easily gathered for each school and for all teachers across the district in order to document instructional focus and growth trends.
We collaborate with district teams to adapt rubrics, observation templates, and feedback structures ensuring alignment with local contracts, evaluation cycles, and reporting needs. This approach allows districts to maintain their current systems while strengthening coherence, consistency, and instructional impact—bringing the toolkit to life in a way that is practical, sustainable, and immediately usable by leaders and teachers.
