Each domain contains several components that define the elements of that domain. For example, domain 1 includes components like knowledge of content and pedagogy, knowledge of students, and designing coherent instruction. Domain 4 focuses on professional responsibilities and includes reflecting on teaching, maintaining accurate records, communicating with families, participating in the professional community, developing professionally, and demonstrating professionalism. The document provides descriptions and examples of the types of activities and skills teachers should demonstrate for each component.
