The document discusses the Utah Academy of Teachers and frameworks for quality teaching and student learning. It emphasizes that quality teaching is the most important factor in student achievement, and outlines four domains of teaching practice: planning and preparation, classroom environment, instruction, and professional responsibilities. It also discusses the backward design process of understanding by design curriculum development which begins with identifying desired learning outcomes and aligning standards, curriculum, instruction and assessment.

- Educators will understand how to design quality curriculum and instructions to insure student learning. 1. What defines a quality classroom for learning? 2. How does aligning standards, curriculum, and assessment enhance student learning? 3. How does engaging curriculum and instruction support student learning? 4. How does integration of subject areas build stronger transfer of learning in students?
- What defines a quality classroom for learning? The most important factor affecting student learning is quality teaching. Good teachers make good schools.

- Framework for Teaching Components of Professional Practice Domain 1 Planning and Preparation Includes comprehensive understand of the content to be taught, knowledge of the students' backgrounds, and designing instruction and assessment. Domain 2 Classroom Environment Is concerned with the teacher's skill in establishing an environment conducive to learning, including both the physical and interpersonal aspects of the environment. Domain 3 Instruction Is concerned with the teacher's skill in engaging students in learning the content, and includes the wide range of instructional strategies that enable students to learn. Domain 4 Professional Responsibilities Is concerned with a teacher's additional professional responsibilities, including self-assessment and reflection, communication with parents, participating in on-going professional development, and contributing to the school and district environment. Themes Reflected in Instructional Domains: Equity (Principles of Equity) Cultural Sensitivity (Principles of Equity) High Expectations (U-Pass, Life Skills) Development Appropriateness Accommodating Students with Special Needs Appropriate Use of Technology

- Reflection of a veteran high school teacher… "Gardner's definition of understanding gives me a good perspective on my own high school education. I felt then that my brain was a weigh-station for material going in one ear and (after the test) out the other. I could memorize very easily and so became valedictorian, but I was embarrassed even then that I knew (understood) much less than some other students who cared less about grades."
