Instructional Framework Content Addendum Resources
The Instructional Framework Rubric applies broadly to teaching in all content areas and grade levels. In response to educator feedback, this addendum has been created with various content experts from the Teaching & Learning Office with feedback from teachers to better acknowledge the variety of content areas our students receive instruction in and includes more details around how the TEACH indicators of our rubric may look in different settings.
The classroom teacher and qualified observer document the focus area for the formal observation. In this document are considerations for pre-observation conferences for observations of teaching and learning based in the PREPARE domain of the Instuctional Framework. The pre-observation conference form is available in CHARM for electronic entry and sharing with their qualified observer prior to the pre-observation conference for the 1st/announced formal observation of the teacher for the school year.
This resource supports the Post-Observation conference to deepen discussion regarding the classroom teacher observation. Based in the REFLECT & ADJUST domain of the Instructional Framework, the questions can be used in tandem with the Self-Reflection form in CHARM when a teacher is considering the impact of their lesson through the TEACH Indicators while self-rating.

Instructional Framework 3.0- Virtual Instruction- NSQOI alignment.pdfInstructional Framework Rubric Alignment to NSQ
In preparation for starting the 2020-21 School Year virtually, a cross-walk was completed between City Schools’ Instructional Framework 3.0 and the National Standards for Quality Online Learning (NSQ). This analysis shows there is clear alignment between our indicators and descriptors and the NSQ standards. This also provides insight as to where and what supports will be needed to ensure our educators and their supervisors are prepared to effectively utilize this framework no matter the environment in which it takes place.
