Recommended Number of Artifacts for Teacher Practices

Jim sent out an e-mail earlier in the month with a recommended number of artifacts for the "Teacher Practices" section of Teachscape.  Remember, you have to have evidence to prove all 22 components by the end of your summary year. He recommended the following:

Domain 1- 3 artifacts
Domain 2-  2 artifacts
Domain 3- 2 artifacts
Domain 4- 3 artifacts

As he suggested, these are only recommendations, so feel free to use these numbers as a guide as you are uploading artifacts and putting in evidence.

FfT 4 Domains; 22 Components

Now that you have submitted your SLO and PPG and begin to collect evidence for them, it's a great time to start documenting your Framework for Teaching teacher practices.  To assist you, we've created a document with the components and their sub-components.  The yellow highlighted components are observable, and the blue are the anecdotal ones.  We've also included the two highest rubric levels.  Feel free to use as you like!

The 22 components will be evaluated in your summary year.
