Idaho Core Teacher Standards and The Danielson Framework For Teaching 1
Idaho Core Teacher Standards and The Danielson Framework For Teaching 1
● The core teaching standards in Idaho consist of ten standards that outline what professional
educators must have to be successful educators.
● Each standard is broken down into two categories, performance and knowledge. Performance is the
demonstration of the standard. Knowledge is the understanding of what the standards require of
professional educators. Each standard also has the required disposition from the educator.
● The core standards are also broken up in the following categories: The Learner and Learning;
Content; Instructional Practice; and Professional Responsibility. These categories are there to help
educators think about the standards in a general view.
The Learner and Learning
● The core standards under this category make sure the educator puts the learning of their students
first. That the educator understands that every student is different and will learn and develop
differently.
● The educator is responsible for learner development, understanding learning differences, and
creating a safe learning environment.
● The three following core standards for teaching fall under The Learner and learning category
