K-12 EDUCATION
Standards-Based Teaching
I provide sample teaching artifacts from my pedagogical practice that are based on the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching. This framework organizes standards for evaluating effective teaching based on empirical evidence. The 22 standards are divided into four categories outlined below.

Domain 1 addresses how I combine my knowledge of dance content and dance pedagogy with knowledge of my students in order to plan for instruction that supports students' varying backgrounds, identities and learning needs.
Domain 2 addresses my ability to create classroom settings and structures that foster students' holistic learning through established routines, community building and caring for their social-emotional well-being.
Domain 3 addresses my ability to engage students in learning through effective communication and instructional strategies that adapt to student's needs in the moment.
Domain 4 addresses my commitment to professional growth and development. Professionalism requires continual reflection and goal-setting in order to provide the most optimal learning experiences for students.
