What’s Next?
Thank you for completing the SSI Portal Danielson Framework for Teaching- Observer Training. As
new features of the portal become available, we will provide you with updates and subsequent
training.
Next, you may need to review the SSI Portal Trainings for the Classroom Strategies Scale (CSS)
and any other direct classroom observation measure your school will be using to evaluate
teachers.
You can find these additional trainings in your portal access email. If you need this email resent
to you, please contact us.
You can also access these trainings via the Resources page on our project website:
http://ssiproject.rutgers.edu/resources/
If you do not see a training for your direct classroom observation measure (e.g. Danielson,
Stronge, McREL, Marshall, etc.) at this time, stay tuned. We are working very hard to add your
information into our portal and will have this information available to you as soon as possible.
