Component E in Domain 4 of the Danielson Framework is about the importance of educator growth and development in all stages of teaching and at all levels of expertise. Distinguished teachers are continually learning, keeping up-to-date with new educational technology, being an active part of a professional learning network, and demonstrating awareness of advances in pedagogical methods and changes in content. Educators also grow by taking courses to further their knowledge, reading recent research and literature about instruction, and joining organizations that are focused on professional development. Ultimately, being a connected educator provides continual opportunities for growth, support, and development.
