The Curriculum Corner: Domain 1-Planning & Preparation
Domain 1 of Danielson’s Framework consists of six elements (listed below) that describe how a teacher organizes the content students are to learn, from initial planning through assessment. According to Danielson, the master teacher must not only possess a deep understanding of content and instructional practices, but must also maintain an understanding of the students and what they bring into the classroom as learners. This will allow you to effectively transform your plans into activities and exercises that are meaningful, relevant and accessible to your students. She also explains that assessment techniques must reflect the instructional goals and should serve to document student progress throughout each lesson, determine how to approach future lessons, and to ensure that learning goals have been met. Tune in to next week’s edition of The Curriculum Corner for Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities!
