In the fall of 2014, the Deer River School District began the implementation of a Teacher Growth and Development model based on Dr. Robert Marzano's research.

While originally driven by Minnesota legislation that changed teacher evaluation requirements, the choice to use the [Marzano Teacher Evaluation](http://www.marzanoevaluation.com/) model was based on the use of research-based practices to focus on teaching strategies that are proven to have an effect on student learning.

The Marzano model uses a [rubric that looks at teaching in 4 domains](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dHJrLCAWPWhFmrUSgD5hRm3IdN2UcwWe/view?usp=drive_link):

1.  Classroom Strategies and Behaviors

2.  Planning and Preparing

3.  Reflecting on Teaching

4.  Collegiality and Professionalism

The Deer River District will also be using the [Marzano School Leadership Model](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TqgMS_mEROZjY3MTgDx_D69pajVo5Hev/view?usp=drive_link) for Principal evaluation and the [Marzano District Leadership Model](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RdZFrWQqS1m8ug5vr7b4zq0Vc-Xx2YEK/view?usp=drive_link) for Superintendent evaluation. These models align with the Teacher model creating an aligned system for school improvement.
