In reply to the discussion: Tell me about Charlotte Danielson, please. [View all]femmocrat

I went to the Ohio Dept.of Education website and read some of the sections on teacher evaluation. They do quote Danielson, but they seem to be using their own terminologies. There was also a reference to Race to the Top, so it could be what they came up with for their RTTT application process.
It does seem very similar to Danielson though. Maybe someone from OH will write in and let us know if it is based on her framework. I couldn't stand delving into it any further. It all sounded like gobbledy-gook to me.
It looks super-proscriptive and ultra-structured!
