The framework for teaching document is an evolving instrument, but the core concepts and architecture (domains, components, and elements) have remained the same. Major concepts of the Common Core State Standards are included. For example, deep conceptual understanding, the importance of student intellectual engagement, and the precise use of language have always been at the foundation of the Framework for Teaching, but are more clearly articulated in this edition. The language has been tightened to increase ease of use and accuracy in assessment. Many of the enhancements to the Framework are located in the possible examples, rather than in the rubric language or critical attributes for each level of performance.

Charlotte Danielson, acclaimed educator, continues to improve the language of the Framework for Teaching Evaluation Instrument in response to feedback from the field. During the past year she has met with teachers, supervisors, and researchers across the country to learn from empirical studies and theoretical research about current issues with teacher evaluation systems and student achievement.
