Teacher Practice Suite
Fair coaching evidence without a heavy rubric burden
Strengthen classroom ministry with complementary evidence—so coaching is specific, hopeful, and grounded in what can actually be seen, heard, and reviewed. Built for the Christian Professional Learning Journey.
CSM handles licensing and contracts. Contact Dr. Hazeltine for a walkthrough, interpretation, or consulting.
Beyond one rubric
Teaching is too important for a single instrument
Heavy all-in-one frameworks often demand extensive evaluator calibration and still produce inconsistent scores. This suite asks better, narrower questions—and assigns each to the right tool.
Observations that focus on what can be seen
Short and Long observations capture research-based instructional behaviors with specific evidence—not broad labels like Developing or Proficient. Frequent short visits keep leaders connected to classrooms; longer visits deepen the coaching conversation when needed.
Separated evidence, clearer coaching
Classroom observation is not asked to judge planning, professionalism, and student experience all at once. Instructional Design reviews artifacts over time—and schools can turn on Curriculum Framework options (such as Teach for Transformation, UbD, Classical, and others) so reviews align with how they organize teaching and learning. Professionalism examines faithfulness to the broader ministry of the school. Each tool does one job well.
Student Voice describes the classroom every day
No administrator sees hundreds of daily interactions across a year. Student Voice (and Parent Voice in early grades) complements observations by revealing the relational and cultural realities of the classroom—what it is like to learn here.
Built for the Christian Professional Learning Journey
When a teacher already has a contract, the annual evaluation is settled. The main work is coaching. Every instrument exists to fuel CPLJ conversations—celebrate what is already faithful, name the next step, and strengthen Mission Delivery over time.
