Danielson Rubric 1d. Demonstrating Knowledge of Resources

Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing information about the Danielson Evaluation Rubric.
Twice a week, we'll highlight a different indicator, explain it's components, share differences between excellent and proficient ratings, and end with ideas for artifacts and questions for reflection.

Domain 1: Planning and Preparation
1d. Demonstrating Knowledge of Resources

The elements of component 1d are:

Resources for classroom use
Materials must align with learning outcomes.
Resources to extend content knowledge and pedagogy
Materials that can further teachers' professional knowledge must be available.
Resources for students
Materials must be appropriately challenging.
Indicators include:

  • Materials provided by the district
  • Materials provided by professional learning organization
  • A range of texts
  • Internet resources
  • Community resources
  • Ongoing participation by the teacher in professional education courses or professional groups
  • Guest Speakers
Excellent Rating:

The teacher’s knowledge of resources for classroom use and for extending one’s professional skill is extensive, including those available through the school or district, in the community, through professional organizations and universities, and on the Internet.

Proficient Rating:

The teacher displays awareness of resources beyond those provided by the school or district, including those on the Internet, for classroom use and for extending one’s professional skill, and seeks out such resources.

Suggestions for Artifacts:
  • Unit Plan
  • Range of texts used across a unit
  • Anecdotal notes regarding specialists you've collaborated with in order to provide appropriate and differentiated instruction

Questions to consider for reflection:
  1. What resources are available to you in planning instruction for this classroom? (people, materials, museums, local experts, videos, websites, print materials)
  2. What resources are available to your students if they need assistance? (people, materials, programs, counseling, donations)
