Based on Charlotte Danielson's ground breaking book, Enhancing Professional Practice: A Framework for Teaching, this Kit offers your district an online resource to seamlessly integrate the tenets of Ms. Danielson's strategies for teaching and evaluation into your culture.
The kit includes the following 5 components:
- Online Course - Enhancing Professional Practice: A Framework for Teaching

Educators experience the Framework, through Charlotte's words and the discussions, observations and interviews of teachers and administrators who have incorporated the concept into their daily practice. Real classroom footage is included. - Online Course - A framework for performance assessment
Designed for: District and building-level administrators, instructional coaches, mentors, department heads and teacher leaders
Course Length: 6 Hours
Educational leaders get support in using the Framework. Specifically, leaders are shown how to conduct observations, facilitate teacher self-assessment, promote collaborative reflection, support improvement of instructional practice using the levels of performance, and maximize the benefits of the evaluation process. - Online Course — Improving Instruction Through Strategic Conversations
Designed for: Instructional leaders and coaches
Course Length: 12 hours
Complementing the Framework, Robyn Jackson's course teaches instructional leaders how to engage in effective feedback discussions with teachers, replacing ineffective supervisory models with a new model of strategic conversations. - Facilitator Guides

Included in the guides are course preparation tools, sequencing activities, reflection prompts and suggested discussion topics. View a sample facilitator guide Charlotte Danielson Facilitator Guide
- Performance Evaluation Tool
While observing teachers, instructional leaders can easily collect data via handheld devices or web-based forms. The data collection instrument, aligned with the elements of the Framework, allows leaders to use this information to effectively evaluate teachers, measuring their levels of performance. With detailed data analysis and reporting tools, leaders can make sound decisions that drive instructional improvement.
