Vermont Standards for Educators Framework

Vermont's evaluation system aligns with the InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards, focusing on five core standards that define effective teaching practice across the Green Mountain State.

Standard 1: Learner Development

The teacher understands how learners grow and develop, recognizing that patterns of learning and development vary individually within and across cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas.

  • Understanding developmental progressions
  • Designing developmentally appropriate instruction
  • Supporting individual learner needs

Standard 2: Learning Differences

The teacher uses understanding of individual differences and diverse cultures and communities to ensure inclusive learning environments that enable each learner to meet high standards.

  • Differentiating instruction for diverse learners
  • Creating culturally responsive environments
  • Supporting special education students

Standard 3: Learning Environments

The teacher works with others to create environments that support individual and collaborative learning, and that encourage positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self motivation.

  • Establishing classroom routines and procedures
  • Building respectful learning communities
  • Managing student behavior effectively

Standard 4: Content Knowledge

The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline(s) they teach and creates learning experiences that make these aspects of the discipline accessible and meaningful for learners.

  • Demonstrating subject matter expertise
  • Connecting content to real-world applications
  • Engaging students in disciplinary thinking

Standard 5: Assessment

The teacher understands and uses multiple methods of assessment to engage learners in their own growth, to monitor learner progress, and to guide the teacher's and learner's decision making.

  • Using formative and summative assessments
  • Providing meaningful feedback to students
  • Adjusting instruction based on data
