The Complexity of Teaching excerpts from “Enhancing Professional Practice – A Framework for Teaching”

Author – Charlotte Danielson

“The complexity of teaching is well recognized; a teacher makes over 3,000 nontrivial decisions daily.  It is useful to think of teaching as similar to not one but several other professions, combing the skills of Business Management, Human Relations, and Theater Arts.”

Business Managers

set goals for groups of subordinates and try to lead them toward accomplishing those goals.  Managers must allocate time and other scarce resources as they balance tasks and socio-emotional considerations.  Teachers must motivate students and engage learning; set goals & sub goals; manage time & other resources; and be accountable for the results.

Human Relations

work involves understanding the dynamics of a large group of individuals, each with a complex set of needs and desires.  A teacher must also consider the range of individual personalities and take advantage of any opportunities for motivating students.

Theater Arts

include many types of professionals, such as, a director, stage manage, actor, set designer, and even a playwright.  Teachers must be the equivalent of all the theater arts components.  A Director can delegate responsibility to individuals for the particular components – however, a teacher must manage all the components in the production.

I have taken the best-practices from these different roles and used them to prosper in the classroom, on the court, and in all my experiences prior to becoming an educator and a coach.  With me, you will find someone with a very full toolbox and ready to go to work.  I am looking forward to meeting with you and hearing about what needs to be either rebuilt, remodeled, maintained, upgraded, or enhanced.  You will certainly find I have a great deal to offer in a variety of ways.
