Wisconsin Leveled Examples to Support the Evaluation of Teachers of the Blind and Visually Impaired 

Purpose of Evaluation 

The Wisconsin Educator Effectiveness (EE) System for evaluating teachers and principals is a learning-centered, continuous improvement system designed to improve the education of all students in Wisconsin by supporting guided, individualized, self-determined professional growth and development of educators.  

The WI Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired (WCBVI) and community partners have developed leveled examples that provide more in-depth detail of the professional practices of teachers of the blind and visually impaired (TVI).  These TVI examples, used with the Danielson Framework for Teaching in the evaluation of teachers, can guide meaningful professional growth and feedback for TVIs. 

These TVI examples are neither exclusive nor exhaustive, but they are offered as guidance for evaluators and educators. References and resources are also included.
