Beyond Evaluation: Using the Danielson Group's Updated Framework for Teaching (FFT) to Develop Great Teachers

Although an important part of teacher development, evaluation alone does not increase teacher and student success. In this session, instructional leaders will learn how to use the recently revised Framework for Teaching (ASCD, 2024), the most widely adopted vision of instructional excellence, to design professional learning conditions that accelerate growth for teachers and students.

Purpose & Objectives:

Participants will identify the impacts of “initiative overload” on teachers’ ability to experience agency and confidence, as well as manage daily stressors of their work.
Participants will examine and refine their initiatives to the Framework for Teaching for greater clarity
Participants will draw connections between the desired outcomes of various school improvement efforts to the domains and components of teaching practice described in the Framework for Teaching.
