September 2017


The Danielson Framework for Teaching is a research-based set of components for instruction, aligned to the Interstate Teacher Assess- ment and Support Consortium (InTASC) standards, and grounded in a constructivist view of learning and teaching. It is currently being used across the country as the foundation of a school or district’s mentoring, coaching, professional development and teacher evalu- ation processes, thus linking all those activities together and help- ing teachers become more thoughtful practitioners. Comprehensive Musicianship Through Performance (CMP) is a planning process that helps teachers explore the elements of meaningful music perfor- mance, skills, knowledge and affect, and integrates those elements into student-centered teaching plans. Learn how the CMP process can help guide you through the Danielson Framework and enhance your own teaching style.
