Instructional Framework 101: IF 101

Domain 3: Instruction - the heart of the framework
Component e: Demonstrating Flexibility And Responsiveness
Element: Lesson Adjustment

Application: How do you make minor or major adjustments to learning? How do you know when to make a change? How willing are you to admit that the way you might be teaching is not working?

Danielson Quote: “Flexibility and responsiveness” refers to a teacher’s skill in making adjustments in a lesson to respond to changing conditions. (from PSD Instructional Framework Book, p.66)
