The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate “apparently ordinary” people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners; it is in making winners

of ordinary people.

The Framework for Teaching

The Framework for Teaching is a researched based set of components of instruction, grounded in a constructivist view of learning and teaching. The Framework may be used as a foundation of a school or district’s mentoring, coaching, professional development, and teacher evaluation process, thus linking all those activities together and helping teachers become more thoughtful practitioners.

In a nutshell…..

• Builds teacher capacity

• Enhance Professional Growth

• Foundation for mentoring, coaching and PD

• Builds Instructional Leadership Capacity

• Helps promote professional conversations

• Helps promote teacher reflection

What FfT is Not…

• I Gotcha

• Not an evaluation tool

• Not sole data point to teacher evaluation

• Not a personal assessment

The Complexity of Teaching

“After 30 years of doing such work, I have concluded that classroom teaching… is perhaps the most complex, most challenging, and most demanding, subtle, nuanced, and frightening activity that our species has ever invented.... The only time a physician could possibly encounter a situation of comparable complexity would be in the emergency room of a hospital during or after a natural disaster”

Lee Shulman, The Wisdom of Practice, 2004

it.  Teaching is reminding others that they know it just as well as you.  You are all learners,
