Teacher Appraisal at ISH

The Framework for Teaching, Charlotte Danielson

An effective system of teacher evaluation accomplishes two things: it ensures quality teaching and it promotes professional learning. The quality of teaching is the single most important determinant of student learning. The Framework for Teaching provides a foundation that is rigorous, valid, reliable, and defensible, and must be grounded in a research-based and accepted definition of good teaching.

The ‘Framework for Teaching’ is a research-based set of components of instruction and grounded in a constructivist view of learning and teaching. In this framework, the complex activity of teaching is divided into 22 components clustered into four domains of teaching responsibility: planning and preparation (Domain 1), classroom environment (Domain 2), instruction (Domain 3), and professional responsibilities (Domain 4). Each component defines a distinct aspect of a domain. Levels of teaching performance (rubrics) describe each component and provide a roadmap for improvement of teaching. Its full value is realized as the foundation for professional conversations among practitioners as they seek to enhance their skill in the complex task of teaching.
