Danielson's Framework for Teaching (FFT) is currently used in more than 20 states to inform teacher evaluation and professional learning. To investigate whether FFT promotes instruction that appropriately responds to the needs of students with learning disabilities, we conduct a systematic content analysis of the instructional approach emphasized…

The study of teacher development and teaching interaction in physical classrooms has presented research problems, but with the development of classroom observation and video analysis, quantitative and visual analysis of the teaching process has been realized. In order to better understand the teaching models of teachers, this study is devoted to…

Teachers help promote the social and emotional learning skills students need to be college and career ready, such as collaborating with others, monitoring their own behavior, and making responsible decisions.

Classroom observation is an integral part of teacher preparation. The observer must enter the classroom with a frame-of-reference: knowledge of the teacher's goals and objectives, awareness of the climate of the classroom, and knowledge of the discipline. Observation forms to objectively record classroom interaction, assess the learning climate,…

TO COMPARE MODES OF TRAINING TEACHERS IN THE LECTURING SKILL OF REDUNDANCY WITHOUT USING DIRECT SUPERVISORY-TEACHER CONFERENCES, 94 TEACHER INTERNS WERE RANDOMLY GROUPED FOR SIX EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENTS. A RECORDING OF THE INTERN'S CLASSROOM PERFORMANCE WAS FOLLOWED TWICE BY A TRAINING SESSION AND ANOTHER RECORDING. TREATMENTS WERE--VIEWING A MODEL…

Addressing the Pittsburgh public school system's need for staff evaluation, Pittsburgh's Research-Based Instructional Supervisory Model (PRISM) is an adaptation of Madeline Hunter's materials on effective teaching and Theodore Forte's synthesis of Hunter's materials in his "Workshop on Instructional Skills."
