colleagues
Memorable Moment…
• Recall a most memorable
moment as a student…

Reviewing Domain 2:
Classroom Environment
Key Points:


The “classroom” isn’t just a room with four walls.
Organizing space to match learning goals.

Focuses on the affective – how a learner feels about
him/herself and school.

How the “classroom” community interacts with one
another.

Speaks to our beliefs about the students’ abilities to
learn and setting high learning expectations.
Reviewing Domain 3:
Instruction
Key Points:

Student Engagement is the most important
component.

Student Engagement = Brain Sweat
Brain Sweat = Rigor

“Time on Task” is NOT the number of activities we
give the learners. It IS about challenging them to
think.
Debrief 2-3 on-stage
Off-Stage Behaviors
Groups 1 and 3: Describe the critical, behindthe-scenes work of planning and organizing
for classroom instruction/service delivery.
Groups 2 and 4: Describe the other behind-thescenes work of the teacher; commitment to
high ethical and professional standards; & to
continuous improvement of their practice.
Documenting Domains 1 & 4
Skills in Domains 1 & 4 are demonstrated
primarily through means other than
observation.
What are some ways to document
performance in each domain?
Reviewing Domain 4:
Professional Responsibilities
 Key Points:

Often we do not take the time to reflect on how the
educational decisions we make impact learning; yet,
reflection is CRITICAL to improving our practice.

“The Devil is in the details.” (keeping accurate records)

Frequency and type of family communication is part of
our professional responsibilities.

We must also be lifelong learners – particularly in areas
that improve student learning.
Reviewing Domain 1:
Planning & Preparation
Key Points:

Contains the components of an effective lesson plan.

Helps make our own thinking (planning instructional
decisions) visible.

Educator expertise and knowledge related to
content/pedagogy must be reflected in planning.
