Standards Based Teaching: Danielson Framework
Originally developed by Charlotte Danielson in 1996, the Danielson Framework uses empirical studies to identify the aspects of teaching which best support and develop student learning. This framework serves as a generalized guide to effective teaching in any grade level, subject area, and across a range of school communities.
"The FFT is an evolving instructional resource that provides a roadmap for effective teaching. It outlines 22 components and 76 elements organized into Four Domains of Teaching Responsibility: Planning & Preparation, Classroom Environment, Instruction, and Professional Responsibilities. Over time, the FFT has evolved to reflect new learning in the field and meet the needs of today's classrooms and students." - The Danielson Group
