The Framework for Teaching: An Overview
from Charlotte Danielson

//"The framework for teaching -- identifies those aspects of a teacher's responsibilities that have been documented through empirical studies and theoretical research as promoting improved student learning. Although they are not the only possible description of practice, these responsibilities seek to define what teachers should know and be able to do in the exercise of their profession.

In this framework the complex activity of teaching is divided into 22 components divided into the following 4 domains of teaching responsibility://

//Domain 1 - Planning and Preparation Domain 2 - The Classroom Environment Domain 3: Instruction Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities//

//Each domain is divided into 6 or 7 components. Each component as 1 -4 elements. Each element has 4 levels of performance.

Domain// 
 * Component
 * Element - Levels of performance

A framework for professional practice has important uses in the service of teaching and learning. These uses demonstrate the framework's power to elevate professional conversations that characterize the interaction of exemplary teachers everywhere."

Note: Only the **PROFICIENT** level of performance has been included for each element on the wiki, this being the level all teachers might be expected to achieve over time. This is also because it has been configured for a different group of techers for a different purpose! All four levels may be viewed in the complete framework document via the link above. Bridget
