The actions of a teacher are one of the strongest factors influencing students' academic achievement and future life success. However, some of the most common frameworks that are used to evaluate teachers and guide their development or improvement are not based on or informed by research about effective teaching methods. Other frameworks are difficult for schools, districts, teachers, and other relevant parties to access due to barriers such as cost. Considering the value of effective teaching, it is worthwhile for a teacher development and evaluation framework informed by research to be created and made easily available. This paper attempts to outline such a framework. This framework has never been researched in practice, but it is based on the available research regarding which teaching practices are generally most effective for students' learning and what sort of evaluation elements are most predictive and useful in assessing teachers. Given this, the framework may be a valuable tool to be used and/or adapted by schools, districts, teachers, and others involved in evaluating teacher effectiveness and guiding professional improvement for teachers.
