You've probably heard of the Charlotte Danielson teacher evaluation rubric developed by the renowned leading expert.

Based on her bestselling book of the same name, Talk About Teaching! is an invaluable course for educational leaders looking to utilize one of the most powerful approaches to successful teacher learning and growth.

Throughout these modules, you will learn and engage in interactive learning experiences to help you understand the Charlotte Danielson framework for teaching and apply the skills of reflective professional conversations.
