Why are we still using the Danielson Model to evaluate teachers when countries that outperform us—like Finland—don’t use it or anything like it? Backed by Gates in 2009, it became high-stakes, but even Danielson says it's misused. Trust, autonomy, and support build better educators. It's time for a change!
