SEVEN 7 components-Teacher and Leader Effectiveness (TLE)

The Department believes that strengthening educator practice can be achieved by improving talent management systems. The Teacher and Leader Effectiveness (TLE) Continuum is made up of seven components that should be used in comprehensive and systematic ways to improve the quality, quantity, and diversity of the teacher and principal workforce, and most importantly – improve student outcomes. Within the context of a comprehensive TLE system, data about educator practice and student learning obtained from evaluation systems can help inform decisions to prepare, recruit, develop, retain, and ensure equitable access to effective educators.
TLE Improving Practice Continuum

  • Preparation – Collaboration or formal partnership between LEAs and Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) or other eligible partners.
  • Recruitment and Placement – Activities to attract the most effective educators to LEAs and the schools that need them.
  • Induction and Mentoring – Individualized support for new and early career educators to advance their professional practice and improve their ability to produce positive student outcomes.
  • Evaluation – Activities and programs to support the continued enhancement of LEAs’ evaluation systems.
  • Professional Development/Growth – Differentiated ongoing support for teacher and principal effectiveness based on evidence of educator practice and student learning.
  • Performance Management – Use of evaluation data in development, compensation, and employment decisions.
  • Career Ladder Pathways – Opportunities for career advancement for educators identified as Effective or Highly Effective.

I want to do the right thing, White teachers...Black schools

Culturally Relevant Pedagogy Ladson-Billings wrote that culturally relevant teachers exhibit confidence in African American students' ability to learn by maintaining high academic expectations and affirming "their cultural identity . . ." (Ladson-Billings, 1995). Culturally relevant teachers harness the power inherent to their occupation to confront institutional and systemic practices which disempower students of color. For these instructors, education becomes a liberatory exercise where classroom assignments become opportunities to teach for social justice. Additionally, culturally relevant instructors place tremendous emphasis on supporting African American students' of academic achievement (Ladson-Billings, 2006).
