OCSD Professional Development and Evaluation

The Framework Structure Based on both empirical studies and theoretical research, the Framework for Teaching is divided into four areas of teaching responsibility—each area is called a domain. Domain 1: Planning and Preparation Domain 2: Classroom Environment Domain 3: Instruction Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities

Common Themes include: Equity Cultural competence High expectations Developmental appropriateness Attention to individual students, including those with special needs Appropriate use of technology Student assumption of responsibility

This training on the Framework for Teaching includes: The Understanding the Framework for Teaching module, which describes how the Framework is organized and what aspects of teaching are included in the Framework for Teaching. The Applying the Framework for Teaching module, which scaffolds your use of the Framework to reflect on your teaching and to develop specific instructional moves to use in the classroom to improve your practice.

The Framework Component learning modules offer more in-depth study on some of the components in the Framework, including videos of sample classrooms that illustrate the different levels of performance. (This training includes modules on 8 of the observable components from domains 2 and 3 of the Framework. It does not include modules on all components in the Framework.)
