What is Teachscape Focus?
2
• Teachscape Focus is an online, video-based, training, assessment, and calibration system that aligns educators on a common definition of teaching effectiveness relative to the Framework for Teaching Evaluation Instrument. Designed in partnership with Charlotte Danielson and ETS, Focus prepares observers to complete fair and consistent observations of classroom practice and prepares teachers to actively focus on and collaborate in discussions around their teaching effectiveness relative to the framework.
