Building Educator Expertise
with the Framework for Teaching
Day One: Choose from the following workshop topics:
11
The Framework for Teaching: An Introduction
Jorie Ellis, Portland, OR
What is high-quality teaching? How do we capture and
understand its complexity? In this session, participants
will learn the structure of the Framework for Teaching
and its components. You will learn the different levels
of performance and how teachers can use the rubrics
to analyze practice. Special emphasis will be placed on
Component 3c: Engaging Students in Learning.
12
Refining and Enhancing Observation Skills to
Support Teacher Growth
Peggy Olcott, Playa del Rey, CA
One key outcome of observations is to support teacher’s
analysis of their practice and promote growth. The kind
of evidence collected becomes critical. This workshop
builds on participants’ knowledge of the Framework for
Teaching in order to refine and enhance observation skills.
What constitutes low-inference evidence, and how to
minimize one’s own biases and interpret evidence against
levels of performance will be explored with applications
of these skills through video observations.13 Using the
Framework for Teaching in Teacher Prep
13
Using the Framework for Teaching
in Teacher Prep
Shelly Arneson, Marana, AZ
University faculty and those supervising student teachers
will benefit from this workshop as we examine the
framework from the perspective of teacher candidates
and those who supervise and observe them. This session
will focus on the four domains (with special emphasis on
the observable components in Domains 2 and 3) and the
levels of performance, using specific examples applicable to
student teaching. In addition, we will share ideas for how
the framework might be integrated into education courses
and talk about the connections between the framework and
current licensure requirements.
14
Collaborative Coaching and Peer Observation
Kate Dickson, Portland, OR
This session will introduce teachers and school
leaders to research-based practices for establishing
meaningful collaborative peer coaching and peer
observation. Participants will have opportunities to
deepen their understanding of peer observation protocols
that enhance professional learning, and support effective
teaching and learning practices aligned to the Framework
for Teaching.
21
The Framework for Teaching: A Deeper Dive
Shelly Arneson, Marana, AZ
Participants in this session will do a deeper exploration of
the components and rubrics of the Framework for Teaching
in order to guide instructional improvement. You will
learn the interrelationships between domains, the common
themes of the Framework, and use the Framework to
observe videotaped lessons and
gather evidence of practice tied to
Framework components.

Building Educator Expertise
with the Framework for Teaching
Day Two: Choose from the following workshop topics:
22
Student Engagement: The Heart of the
Framework
Peggy Olcott, Playa del Rey, CA
In this workshop, participants will explore the reasons
why intellectual engagement is critical to student
learning. Opportunities will be provided for participants
to develop an understanding and description of “minds
on” engagement by experiencing it, through analysis
of activities, observing classroom video segments, and
analyzing and modifying classroom activities designed for
student engagement.
23
Learning Focused Supervision
Ron Anderson, Beavercreek, OH
Learning Focused Supervision provides principals
and supervisors with the skills they need to engage
in productive conversations with teachers about their
professional improvement. This workshop offers
practical tools, focused templates and technical tips for
guiding conversations that increase a teacher’s ability to
think deeply about their instructional choices. Using
the Danielson Levels of Performance as the standard,
participants will explore a template for planning
conversations as well as a template for reflection, using the
data gleaned from classroom observations. Participants will
learn a continuum of interactions - calibrating, consulting,
collaborating, and coaching - each of which is designed to
support a teacher’s thinking and engagement in their own
professional development.
24
Introduction to the Framework for Teaching in
Special Education
Jorie Ellis, Portland, OR
Learn the structure, architecture, and vocabulary of the
Danielson Framework for Teaching using exemplars
from special education settings. Participants will develop
awareness of the levels of performance across a variety
of disability categories while learning how to use the
rubrics to analyze professional practice. Special emphasis
is placed on supporting the application of Universal
Design for Learning (UDL) in order to enhance attention
to component 3c: Engaging Students in Learning. Special
Education Scenarios written for each component and level
of performance help participants
understand, “What would this
look like in a special education
setting?”
