Kim Marshall Teacher Evaluation Rubric
The Kim Marshall Teacher Evaluation Rubric is designed for use with frequent, short "mini-observations" rather than infrequent formal visits. It organizes teacher performance into six domains with a four-level rubric, emphasizing timely, actionable feedback that drives continuous improvement.
Used by districts across the United States, particularly those emphasizing frequent mini-observations and rapid feedback cycles.
