What’s Changed? Exploring The 2022 Framework for Teaching
Designed for educators of any role who are either considering the Framework for implementation or have previous experience with earlier versions. During asynchronous learning, participants experience an overview of the key language shifts within the domains and specific components, consider how these shifts more effectively support instructional excellence and equity in your setting, and reflect on opportunities to apply the new Framework for Teaching in your local context. While informative, this course is most effective when paired with the full The Framework for Teaching: A Common Vision of Instructional Excellence course which can be taken online or facilitated in-person.
