I would agree with you if people like Danielson weren’t participating actively in workshops and webinars that districts are asking, paying for, sometimes requiring teachers to watch/attend so that they can prepare for the evaluations based upon these presenters’ ideas. Danielson knows this is happening. It’s not a case where she wrote a couple books from which school district systems of evaluation were gleaned. She is making money off of the utilization of her ideas. And districts are clearly using her ideas to rate teachers. And based upon these ratings, many very qualified teachers are being placed on shaky employment ground by inept administrators.
