Abstract/Description for Paper, Discussion, and Laptop Poster presentations

Many school leaders use Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching (2013) as a professional tool to improve teaching and learning. In this session we will discuss one district’s initiative to embed an immersion-specific lens into three of Danielson’s four domains of teaching responsibility.  Drawing on behaviors identified in the Immersion Teaching Strategies Observational Checklist (Fortune, 2014), immersion program leaders and specialists collaborated to adapt the “Look Fors” observational tool used to guide instructionalpractice in the immersion classroom.  Sample videos from one-way and two-way immersion classrooms will be shown for discussion purposes.
