Wisdom of Practice
If you were to walk into a classroom, what might you see
- r hear there (from the students as well as the teacher)
that would cause you to think that you were in the presence of an expert? What would make you think: “Oh, this is good; if I had a child this age, this is the class I would hope for.”
Features of A Framework for Teaching
- Generic: applies to all grade levels,
content areas
- Not a checklist
- Not prescriptive: tells the “what” of
teaching, not “how”
- Comprehensive: not just what we can see
- Inclusive: Novice to Master teacher
Structure of the Framework

1e: Designing coherent instruction The series of learning experiences are poorly aligned with the instructional outcomes and do not represent a coherent structure. The activities are not designed to engage students in active intellectual activity and have unrealistic time
- allocations. Instructional
groups do not support the instructional outcomes and offer no variety. Some of the learning activities and materials are suitable to the instructional outcomes and represent a moderate cognitive challenge but with no differentiation for different students. Instructional groups partially support the instructional outcomes, with an effort by the teacher at providing some variety. The lesson or unit has a recognizable structure; the progression of activities is uneven, with most time allocations reasonable. Teacher coordinates knowledge of content, of students, and of resources to design a series of learning experiences aligned to instructional
- utcomes and suitable to
groups of students. The learning activities have reasonable time allocations; they represent significant cognitive challenge, with some differentiation for different groups of students. The lesson or unit has a clear structure, with appropriate and varied use
- f instructional groups.
Plans represent the coordination of in-depth content knowledge, understanding of different students’ needs, and available resources (including technology), resulting in a series of learning activities designed to engage students in high-level cognitive activity Learning activities are differentiated appropriately for individual learners. Instructional groups are varied appropriately with some opportunity for student choice. The lesson’s or unit’s structure is clear and allows for different pathways according to diverse student needs.
Benefits of Using a Framework for Teaching
- Common Language
- Similarity of vision for teaching that improves
teaching: the qualities of the distinguished level
- Greater validity and reliability potential for
teacher evaluation
- Changes in novice thinking
- Opportunities for collaboration
