The framework
for teaching described in this book is based on PRAXIS III: Classroom
Performance Assessments criteria developed by the Educational Testing
Service. This framework identifies those aspects of a teacher's
responsibilities that have been documented through empirical studies
and theoretical research as promoting improved student learning.
These responsibilities seek to define what teachers should know
and be able to do in the exercise of their profession. In this framework,
the complex activity of teaching is divided into 22 components clustered
into four domains: planning and preparation, classroom environment,
instruction, and professional responsibilities. This framework of
professional practice is designed to meet the needs of novice teachers
concerned with day-to-day survival, experienced teachers wanting
to improve their effectiveness and help their colleagues do so as
well, and highly accomplished teachers wanting to move toward advanced
certification and serve as a resource to less-experienced colleagues.
Evaluation criteria are provided for each domain and its components;
instead of rating specific behaviors, these criteria refer to a
set of commonalities that reflect or support actions. (Contains
80 references.) (JLS)
