 * Framework for Teaching**
 * The //Framework for Teaching// is a research-based set of components of instruction grounded in a constructivist view of learning and teaching. In the framework, the complex activity of teaching is divided into 22 components (and 76 smaller elements) clustered into four domains of teaching responsibility: planning and preparation (Domain 1), classroom environment (Domain 2), instruction (Domain 3), and professional responsibilities (Domain 4). Each component defines a distinct aspect of a domain; two to five elements describe a specific feature of a component.
 * Performance rubrics describe each component and provide a roadmap for improvement of teaching.The //Framework// may be used for many purposes; it lends itself specifically as a foundation for professional conversations among practitioners as they seek to enhance their skill in the rigors of teaching. The //Framework// may be used as the foundation for mentoring, coaching, professional development, and teacher evaluation to help teachers become more thoughtful practitioners.
