MEASURE AND NURTURE GROWTH
Evaluation is a sensitive topic that research proves is necessary to build momentum and sustain growth. At LSI, we work with you to establish constructive practices grounded in mutual trust.
The Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model is a heavy-duty framework that’s strong enough to withhold the weight of rigorous, standards-based shifts while clarifying the expectations between principals and teachers. You’ll unleash transformational leadership and increase student achievement, but even more importantly, you will lay the foundation for a collaborative dream team to inspire students for years to come.
The Focused Evaluation Model combines deliberate practice, reflection, and feedback to form a network of accountability that propels learning forward--with no scripting, and a limited focus on 23 critical elements.
Looking for help evaluating school and district leaders or other roles?
LSI’s leader eval has been recognized as one of the few that actually increase effectiveness. Talk to us about our full suite of Marzano evaluation training and support.
Principals, you’ll monitor teacher effectiveness using focused goals and behaviors that correspond to student achievement.
Teachers, you’ll gain a clear understanding of the criteria for evaluation used to determine your effectiveness and get actionable feedback.
Choose LSI’s student-centered, Marzano-based system of evaluation. After training, implementation is a snap using iObservation’s tech platform that seamlessly tracks professional growth with measurable data.
Increase your school’s capacity for effectiveness.
Put the Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation model to work for you.
A NEWLY STREAMLINED APPROACH
The Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model is a research-based tool that ensures instruction has the necessary rigor to prepare students for college and career success.
Streamlined, simplified, and flexible, it can be used with any instructional model.
Originally developed with Dr. Robert J. Marzano in 2010, the Focused Evaluation Model draws on decades of research on teacher pedagogy and evaluation. Since then, LSI researchers have continued to collect data from multiple sources—including three years of value-added modeling, scores from hundreds of classrooms through our exclusive iObservation tool, surveys, and growth metrics.
Great Marzano evaluation, only faster. Simpler. Better.
Evaluation PD that is designed solely to comply with instructional shifts often falls short of effecting lasting change. That’s why the Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model was created with a growth-based mentality. We actively invest in teachers and leaders by supporting them well beyond the initial implementation phase.
- Zero in on 23 essential behaviors
- Leverage current research and validation studies
- Reinforce the natural link between core instruction and teacher accountability
- Support the transition to standards-based instruction
- Build teacher confidence
No more guesswork
For each behavior, the Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model incorporates a focus statement and desired effect, plus sample instructional techniques and strategies for evaluating student work.
Leave clunky old school eval behind.
Upgrade to observation rooted in rigor, nurtured by trust.

The Marzano Evaluation Framework has had a significant, positive effect on student achievement in our district. The Framework allows our administrators to give the kind of specific feedback which teachers can understand and use to improve their practice. The impact the Framework has had on teaching and learning is remarkable. Teachers see the feedback as fair and useful.
