The Danielson Group

The Danielson Group (DG) is strengthening professional practices and promoting education policies that elevate teacher development and leadership in service of student learning. Our vision is that each educator and student will experience a learning environment that promotes joyful inquiry, efficacy, intellectual rigor, and reflection grounded in the Framework for Teaching (FfT). Charlotte Danielson developed the FfT to promote clear and meaningful conversations about effective teaching practice. The DG advances the principles of the FtT by partnering with educators and policy leaders across the United States and abroad to enhance their practice and ultimately ensure that each student can acquire deep understanding of important, complex content.
