Charlotte Danielson's groundbreaking book, Enhancing Professional Practice: A Framework for Teaching gives clear language to describe the complex work of teaching. Now you can experience the Framework, not only through Charlotte's words, but through the discussions of teachers and administrators who have incorporated the concept into their daily practice. Along with Charlotte and a diverse panel of educators, you will assess real classroom footage for its strengths and weakness in each of the four domains of the Framework. Throughout the course, you will reflect on your own experience and participate in active learning with the teacher panel. Through this dynamic combination of engaging lectures, classroom observations, educator interviews, and vigorous panel discussions, this course will help you to become the best teacher you can be.
