Domain 3: Instruction

 Domain 3 represents the implementation of the plans that teachers designed in Domain 1.  Teachers who successfully execute the components of Domain 1 prepare plans that are suitable to their students, grounded in deep understanding of the content, aligned with state standards, and designed to engage students in important work.  In Domain 3, teachers demonstrate through their instructional skills that they can successfully implement those plans.

Domain 3: Instruction  Accomplished teachers engage their students in meaningful work, which carries significance beyond the next test and which can provide skills and knowledge necessary for answering important questions or contributing to important projects.
