factor in student achievement –– It’s about what the teacher does in the
classroom that maximizes student achievement.

Downloads• “Why TELL?” Presentation
http://www.tellproject.com/why-teacher-effectiveness/
TELL Framework
• Clearly defines the characteristics and behaviors exhibited by effective world language teachers.– What makes an effective world language
teacher? – What do effective world language teachers do
to ensure that students achieve world language competence?
TELL Beliefs
1. The identified teacher characteristics and behaviors represent the model world language teacher.
2. World language teachers can become models if the model teacher is defined.
3. The identified characteristics and behaviors are intended to guide individual teacher growth toward the model and are not necessarily tied to teacher appraisal.
TELL Framework
• Establishes those characteristics and behaviors that model teachers exhibit.
• Consists of 7 domains – organized around the three competency
standards of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS).
Preparing for Student Learning
– LEARNING ENVIRONMENT• How do I establish a safe, supportive learning
environment for my students?– PLANNING• How do I maximize student learning through my
instructional planning?
Advancing Student Learning
– TEACHING THE LESSON• Which high-yield strategies help my students achieve
the daily performance objectives?– ASSESSMENT• How do my students and I use assessments to show
what they know and can do with what they know?– RESOURCES• How do my students and I capitalize on a variety of
resources to maximize student learning?
Supporting Student Learning
• COLLABORATION– How does my collaboration with stakeholders
support student learning?• PROFESSIONALISM– How does my continued growth as a professional
support student learning?
Tools for Implementation • A self assessment inventory ‐ based on the
Framework criteria in order to help the user plan for professional growth or lead others to do so.
• Formative observation instruments that can be used by peers and supervisors.
• Administrative observation instruments written in such a way as to be useful for any teacher appraiser, regardless of his/her background in world language or world language methodology.
TELL Support
• Research and scholarly writings that support the Framework criteria are cited and serve as sources for further reading.
• Exemplars (documents or video footage) of the criteria are provided for illustration purposes.
• Correlations of the Framework criteria link TELL to other documents that also address teacher effectiveness.
