20. Reflecting/Brainstorming Activity
• Using the SLMC and ITF Professional Standards,
Piloted Evaluation Rubrics, CCES, and your colleagues’
expertise, complete the chart (available for you to
download from wiki):
– identify activities that you currently implement which correlate
to your professional standards
– work w/table members to brainstorm additional
Accomplished/Distinguished actions you could take to meet
your professional standards (I would recommend working
with SLMCs and ITFs from districts other than your own.
Different perspectives may be enlightening.)
– determine how these activities are/can be used for CCES
implementation in your media program, school, and beyond
