Lindsay Prendergast, Ed. D.
Assistant Director of Strategy & Development
Although an important part of teacher development, evaluation alone does not increase teacher and student success.
Join Vector’s partners from the Danielson Group to learn how to use the newly revised (2022) Danielson Group’s Framework for Teaching (ASCD, 2024), the most widely adopted vision of instructional excellence, to design professional learning conditions that accelerate growth for teachers and students.
Examine key shifts in the updated Framework that support student-centered learning, cultural responsiveness, and a sense of belonging for all students.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Apply the updated Framework for Teaching (FFT) to support deeper learning for teachers and students.
- Examine their own work with students and other educators through the lenses of instructional excellence and equity.
- Support a learning culture throughout the school through dialogue, collaboration, reflection, and coaching using the FFT domains and components.
