Danielson Framework with Early Learning Examples
Over the course of 1 ½ years beginning in Fall 2012, CSEP staff convened a group of early childhood stakeholders to develop examples unique to early childhood classrooms for each of the 2013 Danielson Framework for Teaching domains and components at each performance level (Unsatisfactory through Distinguished). The early learning examples are aligned to the Framework and were developed through the shared efforts of PreK-3 teachers, school and district administrators, higher education faculty, and early childhood policy analysts, advocates, and researchers. The examples are focused on the following teaching spans: Preschool (i.e., 3 & 4 year olds); Kindergarten - First Grade; and Second-Third Grade. The 2013 Danielson Framework for Teaching rubric with early learning examples can be searched by domain.
