YKSD Danielson Smart Card 4 Domains 12 Components Each Component has it’s own Rubric. They are found on the YKSD website, under the curriculum and instruction tab. Let’s look at the Website! The YSKD Smart Card is the document that most clearly and briefly explains Danielson and evaluation expectations.

Component Analysis Domain 1, 2, 3, 4 5 minutes to plan for a 3 minute presentation For your group’s assigned domain, be prepared to share the answers to the following questions: What are your three components? How do your three components differ from each other? What stands out as interesting, important or needs more explanation?

Danielson Quiz 1.Ms. A couldn’t verify whether a certain student was absent a few weeks ago. 2.Ms. C had her class watch a video of the “I Have a Dream” speech, then guided them through questions that were factual, interpretive, and analytical in nature. 3.Students in Mr. H’s class are puzzled after he explains “slope” in Algebra. Instead of assigning problems like he had planned, Mr. H tried a different approach in clarifying the content. 4.Mr. B designed a rubric for student projects. It identified key elements of a good project and three levels of performance for each element. 5.Ms. W sends home newsletters with her elementary students that explain what the students will learn this week. 6.The students in Ms. L’s class begin work on a warm-up that is written on the board as soon as they walk in and sit down. Identify the component that each prompt addresses

Each of the 12 Components has a rubric of clear expectations

What is engagement? Students who are engaged exhibit three characteristics: 1)They are attracted to their work 2)They persist in their work despite challenges and obstacles 3)They take visible delight in accomplishing their work *Engagement is NOT just keeping busy. (Philip Schlechty, 1994)
