Danielson’s Framework for TeachingThe Framework for Teaching identifies aspects of a teacher’s responsibilities that have been documented through research as promoting improved student learning.

They are organized into 4 domains:1. Planning and Preparation2. The Classroom Environment3. Instruction4. Professional Responsibilities

What is Academic Rigor?

True rigor is creating an environment in which each student is expected to learn at high levels, each student is supported so he or she can learn at high levels, and each student demonstrateslearning at high levels.Blackburn, B.R. (2008). Rigor is NOT a four-letter word. Larchmont, NY: Eye on Education.

OPEN’s Academic Rigor ToolsWe build academic rigor into each OPEN module• Outcomes-based Backward Design• Academic Language Connections, Cards and Quizzes• Depth of Knowledge Debrief Question Sets• Marzano’s 13 Essential Teaching Strategies• Danielson’s 4 Domains of Instructional Practice

Building Physical LiteracyPhysical literacy is the ABILITY, CONFIDENCE, and DESIRE to be physically active for life.

Ability = Basic Movement CompetencyConfidence = Knowledge and AttitudesDesire = Intrinsic Enthusiasm

From The Aspen Institute: Project Play

Empowerment TheoryOPEN works to EMPOWER all teachers with the right balance of freedom & equality.• Equity of Access

(No cost or obligation)• Outcomes-based Modular Content

(Provides teachers with choices)• MS Word Documents are Easy to Edit

(Gives teachers freedom and control)

Academic Language of Physical Literacy

Academic Language (noun)The vocabulary, symbols, icons, signals, and non-verbal communication that students must know and be able to apply in order to be competent/proficient in a specific academic area.

Depth of KnowledgeAn instructional model for increasing cognitive complexity. Each of the 4 levels represent the level of complexity needed to

respond correctly to a specific task or assessment.

As an informal rule… Levels 1 & 2 could be tested via a multiple choice test. Levels 3 & 4 would be measured against performance criteria

with multiple answers / alternative performances possible.

Depth of Knowledge in PE

DOK 1: Recall & Reproduction- Define & demonstrate what I know.

DOK 2: Applications of Skills & Concepts- Why & when do I apply what I know.

DOK 3: Strategic Thinking- How can I use what I know?

DOK 4: Extended Thinking- What would happen if…?
