edTPA crosswalk to 2011 The Framework for Teaching Evaluation Instrument by Charlotte Danielson

This document was produced to reveal the alignment between the 2011 Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching Evaluation Instrument and edTPA. The Danielson/edTPA Crosswalk reveals that the central elements of the Danielson framework are strongly aligned with the concepts embedded within the three tasks of the edTPA (i.e., Planning, Instruction and Assessment). The domains within the Danielson framework are listed in the left column. Each domain, usually structured with the elements discussed in a narrative format, has been re-organized into a corresponding list of the same elements (i., ii., iii…); this has been done to visually support the alignment description. The right hand column of the crosswalk lists the edTPA tasks, prompts, and/or rubrics that align with the corresponding domains in the left column.

Evidence of edTPA alignment to the 2011 Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching Evaluation Instrument is further organized by listing the edTPA task: Planning, Instruction and/or Assessment in the right column. Following the task name, the commentary prompts and rubrics that provide evidence of alignment to the domains are listed. To demonstrate the key areas of alignment, key terms and concepts are listed in bold font for both the domains and edTPA columns. Finally, to clarify the particular instances of alignment with the edTPA, evidence for groups of Domains is often listed together. For example, to reveal the alignment of Domain 3d with edTPA, the TPE was divided into two sections 3d.i-ii and 3d.iii-iv; a space has been inserted between sections to denote the next set of elements and alignment evidence. Whenever possible, domains and edTPA alignment evidence has been placed side-by-side. However, when a larger group of domain elements are addressed together, such visual spacing is not possible. Overall the analyses of the relation between the edTPA (handbooks and rubrics) to the 2011 Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching Evaluation Instrument demonstrates substantial alignment.
