RISE was designed and revised to provide a quality system, aligned with current legislative requirements that local corporations can adopt in its entirety, or use as a model as they develop evaluation systems to best suit their local contexts. RISE was developed over the course of a year by the Indiana Teacher Evaluation Cabinet, a diverse group of educators and administrators from around the state, more than half of whom have won awards for excellence in teaching. From the beginning, the Indiana Teacher Evaluation Cabinet sought to design a model evaluation system focused on good instruction and student outcomes. RISE was designed to be fair, accurate, transparent, and easy-to-use. This handbook describes the 3.0 version of Indiana's RISE Evaluation Model for teacher evaluation. It describes: (1) the state model on teacher evaluation; (2) Component 1: Professional Practice; (3) Component 2: Additional Components; and (4) summative teacher evaluation scoring. A glossary of RISE terms are also included.
