Why is this happening?

• The Danielson Framework, as it is being
  implemented in BCPS, is intended to increase
  objectivity and consistency from school to school
  within our system.

Why is this a good thing?

• Teaching is an extremely complex activity, this
  framework is useful in laying out the various
  areas of competence in which professional
  teachers need to develop expertise.

• This means that it measure the WHOLE teacher,
  not just the person that is seen 4 times a year.
  It is a much more authentic reflection of what
  you do every day.
