Provide training to teachers and administrators with the Danielson Framework for Teaching Course Library.
In a perfect world, teachers and administrators see eye to eye in what makes for great teaching. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, especially when it comes to teacher evaluation.
That can cause distrust in the system and undermine what everyone wants: student success.
Thankfully, you can ensure your teachers and administrators alike have a common understanding of what high-quality teaching looks like by training them on the Danielson Framework for Teaching. It’s designed to promote deeper discussions about teaching practice, with a definition of good teaching based on research.
Part of the job of being a teacher is to be on a career-long quest to improve practice, [while] a critically important role of any evaluation system is to promote learning.” —Charlotte Danielson
More than just an evaluation tool, the Danielson Framework also lets teachers turn a critical eye to their own practice. This makes it easier to identify areas for improvement, and engage in relevant professional learning.
