Domain 2:
The second domain of the Danielson Framework is concerned with the classroom environment. A variety of factors contribute to a classroom environment that is conducive to learning. The classroom should be a safe place for students to express themselves and contribute to discussions. It should also be structured so that the set-up poses no danger to the students; the arrangement of items and furniture should not obstruct movement or in any way serve as a barrier to learning. Procedures in the classroom should be consistent and clear so that students know what is expected of them. This domain is important because the environment and classroom culture that is established throughout the school year can strongly affect student-teacher interaction, collaboration between students, and student performance.
