Danielson Framework Domains — Planning and Preparation
“The components in Domain 1: Planning & Preparation describe how teachers organize instruction for student learning. It is difficult to overstate the importance of planning and preparation. One could argue that a teacher’s role is not so much to teach as it is to arrange for learning (The Danielson Group, 2022).”
