How we measured

  1. School year. A school year runs from July 1 through June 30. For example, 2025–26 covers July 2025 through June 2026.
  2. Component by component. Each comparison is one teacher, one Danielson Framework for Teaching component, in one 2gnoMe portal. Ratings are never averaged and never compared across different components or rubrics.
  3. Within a school year. We compare the first and the last rating of that component in the same school year, for teachers rated at least twice.
  4. Year to year. We compare the last rating of 2024–25 with the last rating of 2025–26 for the same teacher and component.
  5. Changes only, with room to move. The share counts ratings that changed. It leaves out ratings that started at Distinguished, which can only stay or move down, and ratings that started at Unsatisfactory, which can only stay or move up. Moves down from Distinguished are reported separately above.
  6. What is excluded. 2gnoMe staff and test accounts, coaching checklists, and role rubrics other than the Framework for Teaching for teachers.

Data: 2gnoMe platform export, school years 2022–23 through 2026–27 to date, pulled November 6, 2026.
