What is domain two of the danielson framework?
The second domain of the Danielson Framework targets the importance of creating an encouraging and safe environment for students to learn in. It is very easy for students to not be focused if they feel an environment is unsafe or distracting and as teachers it is our job to establish an atmosphere that is positive and inviting for students to learn.

my virtual co-op and domain two
My virtual co-op was super helpful when I asked her about classroom environment. The first time that I skyped with her, I was able to see her floorplan and how she set up her classroom. One thing that I found really unique was that every few weeks she lets her students choose the type of chair they want to use and their desks. She said that this encourages students to do work in their seats because they feel comfortable and in control.
