The Framework The Framework for Teaching is a research-based set of components of instruction, aligned to the INTASC standards, and grounded in a constructivist view of learning and teaching. The complex activity of teaching is divided into 22 components (and 76 smaller elements) clustered into four domains of teaching responsibility: Each component defines a distinct aspect of a domain; two to five elements describe a specific feature of a component.

The standards represent clear expectations about what all teachers should know and be able to do if they are going to improve achievement for our next generation of students.

The conceptual framework of the education programs - Educator as Professional Decision Maker, Reflective Practitioner, and Adaptive Expert - articulates the multiple dimensions of these programs at Concordia University. The included visual model presents the components of the framework and communicates the relationships that the components have with one another. The model suggests a dynamic, interactive, energetic, and productive orientation to the preparation of professional educators at Concordia University.
