Domains and Components. The South Dakota Framework for Teaching South Dakota’s Framework for Teaching is divided into four domains of teaching practice. Nested underneath the four domains are 22 components and 76 elements that identify the skills and knowledge associated with that domain. Figure 2 provides an overview of the full framework down to the component level, and an outline including all 76 elements is provided in Appendix E. The Xxxxxx School District Board of Education will determine which component or components from each domain will constitute the basis of teacher evaluations, and the administration will inform teachers of those components during the pre-school year in-service. State Requirements for Evaluating Professional Practice State law and administrative rule require that districts base professional practice evaluations on the South Dakota Framework for Teaching. School districts have freedom to examine and select the components most critical to advancing district and school goals, provided that each evaluation contains at least one component from each domain. Components not observable during formal or informal observations will be included in the summative rating. Certified Teacher, Counselor, Speech and Librarian Evaluation Procedures Non-tenured staff members will be formally evaluated at least once each semester and tenured staff will be formally evaluated at least once every other school year. Formal evaluations will be pre-planned and announced as defined in Section Gc. Informal evaluations may be announced or unannounced. Informal evaluation is an on-going process covering punctuality, responsibility, human relation skills, supervisory skills, conduct, and other items that relate to a person's effectiveness as a teacher. No evaluation, formal or informal, is placed in a teacher's file without teacher knowledge of such action.
