“A framework for professional practice is not unique to education. Indeed, other professions…have well-established definitions of expertise and procedures to certify novice and advanced practitioners. Such procedures are the public’s guarantee that the members of a profession hold themselves and their colleagues to the highest standards.”
Charlotte Danielson

Goals
• To learn the clusters and standards of the TxBESS Framework
• To understand the concept of the developmental continuum
![Page 4: The TxBESS Framework Dr. Jan Seiter Ms. Donna Dagar](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d0d5503460f949e1bf9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Warm-up Activity
• Consider the work of teaching and note as many professional activities as possible in which a teacher engages during a two-day period.
• Be specific (e.g., grading 34 papers, calling a parent, designing a lesson).
• Write each item/activity on a separate sticky note, and keep all of the sticky notes for a later activity.

What Is the TxBESS Framework?
• Reflects effective teaching as represented in the practice of beginning teachers
• Contains the TxBESS Performance Standards and the developmental continuum

Identifying the Clusters
• Locate the Identifying the Clusters worksheet.
• In table groups, identify the cluster to which each statement relates.
![Page 13: The TxBESS Framework Dr. Jan Seiter Ms. Donna Dagar](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d0d5503460f949e1bf9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Performance Standards & Developmental Continuum
What teacher and/or student behaviors would you expect to see at the developing, beginning competent, advanced competent, and proficient levels?
![Page 14: The TxBESS Framework Dr. Jan Seiter Ms. Donna Dagar](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d0d5503460f949e1bf9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Locate your sticky notes from earlier in this session.
• Read each sticky note and determine the cluster and standard to which it relates.
• Place the sticky notes on the appropriate locations on page 6 in the TxBESS Framework.

The framework is important because:
1. It provides a common language and structure for discussing teaching;
2. It is aligned with the PPR standards and the PDAS; and
3. It provides a pathway for teacher growth.

“Although teachers sometimes feel pulled in many different directions…a unifying thread runs through the entire framework to provide an organizing structure. That thread consists of engaging students in learning important content.”
