This is the third edition of the popular Danielson Framework for Teaching, used by teacher preparation programs and schools for a better understanding of excellent instruction. The Framework’s four domains, 22 components, and 73 key elements provide an expansive, holistic definition of what teachers across the K-12 spectrum should know and be able to do for instructional excellence. One of the key benefits of the Framework is that it gives practitioners a common language for visualizing, talking about, and reflecting on their work as they chart their ongoing progress toward instructional excellence.
