Collaborative approaches in special educationAhmed Bilal
In special education, the term "collaboration" refers to a team-teaching approach. In addition to the regular classroom teacher and the special education teacher, a collaborative team may also include speech, occupational, and/or physical therapists.
Design and Implementation of In-Service Teacher TrainingPeter Beech
This presentation begins by outlining the distinctions between pre-service and in-service training, and between initial in-service training and on-going development.
While initial INSET (IN-SErvice Training) includes some of the same elements as pre-service training, such as guided lesson planning, lesson observation and feedback, and workshops linking theory and practice, it should also support the induction of the novice teachers into the profession, and lay the foundations for their long-term development.
The design of the initial INSET programme will take into account both the aims of the individual participants and those of the institution and other stakeholders. It should consider the participants’ pre-service training in order to meet their various needs appropriately, and the methodology of the training programme should also reflect the methodologies employed by the school.
Short-term goals may be centred on effective classroom practice for new teachers, whereas in the longer term emphasis will be placed on individual development, institutional development, and the sharing of best practice. At this stage, teachers may be encouraged to conduct classroom research, examine their own teaching, explore ideas of best practice in their own context and share their experience with peers.
The programme may be facilitated by experienced teachers within the institution, by expert teacher trainers or a combination of both; it may take the form of occasional intensive input from trainers with on-going part-time support from DOS. In any case, the course should be integrated into the ongoing process of teacher development.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

PEPSC’s Student-Centered Focus
Goal: Keep great teachers in the classroom and attract highly
qualified, diverse candidates into the profession.
Principle 1: Do our ideas have a positive impact on students?
Principle 2: Are our ideas measurable in an authentic setting
(in the presence of students and their learning)?
6. A Professional
System of Support
To elevate the teaching
profession, teachers deserve
an improved system of
effectiveness-based licensure
requirements, professional
supports, and career pathways.
Within the system, there are
four possible career phases
that are interconnected, flexible,
progressive, and focused on
teacher and student success.

7. The Benefits of the Proposed System
This proposed system reform aims to professionalize the teaching career and make the teaching profession more attractive. While
every educator’s journey will look different, they can each expect help in their careers at each phase.
Apprenticeship
Offering a new apprenticeship pathway into
teaching allows more degree-earners to try
on teaching while being compensated, and it
connects with the 2+2 pathway. Available to
traditional or 2+2 EPP students for their
student teaching as well as post-Bacc
teacher candidates who want to experience
a classroom setting.
Teacher Support
To provide individualized
professional learning support, each
early career teacher will receive a
professional advancement account
to access a variety of professional
development opportunities.
Mentorship
Each practicing and early career
teacher will benefit from the
guidance of seasoned educators,
with scaffolded support that is higher
in the earlier years. Early career
teachers will also have in-classroom
supports from a teacher mentor.
Compensation
Pay will no longer be restricted to
time served; rather, teachers will
be professionally compensated for
growing their skills and
effectiveness, extending their
reach to more students, and
leading their peers.
Effectiveness Measures
Professionals deserve to know their
strengths and receive positive, ongoing
feedback. To understand teaching
impact, there must be many types of
authentic measures used regularly, not
a single measure in time, and they must
connect to a teacher’s daily
responsibilities of leading their
classrooms, not add to it.
Incentivizing Quality Preparation
In most cases, traditionally prepared
teachers are the best in North Carolina.
Any approved EPP that successfully
prepares individuals for the job will
ensure their graduates start at a higher
entry license and pay level.
Demonstrating professional and
compensation growth will be an important
tool for recruiting EPP candidates.
Scaffolded Responsibilities
Every new teacher needs extra
time and support to learn how to
best lead their classrooms. The
new system sets realistic
classroom responsibilities at the
start that grow overtime as a
teacher is better supported and
improves their skills.
Optional Career Paths
Effective teachers can now extend their reach
to more students without leaving the classroom.
Whether choosing to take on a more
challenging classroom or becoming a teacher
leader, teachers with demonstrated
effectiveness can apply for advanced roles that
include substantial compensation increases.

9. Pre-Teaching Paths
I’m Santiago. I earned a
bachelor’s degree in biology
but working in a lab wasn’t
right for me. I decided to take
a teaching apprenticeship so I
could learn classroom
pedagogy on the job before
becoming a teacher of
record.
Career Phases in Practice
Clear career options and phases will help attract, empower, support and retain teachers.
They will incentivize great teachers to lead from the classroom and continue to make a
positive impact on students and colleagues.
Pre-Teaching Paths
I'm Jenny. I got my
associate degree in
teaching from my local
community college and
became an apprentice
teacher. I've been getting
paid to learn to teach under
a great mentor while taking
classes to earn my
bachelor's degree. I look
forward to teaching my own
class next year after I
graduate.
Pre-Teaching Paths
I’m Richard. I just graduated
from university and
completed my paid student
teaching. Knowing that I have
career autonomy, better
supports and adequate
compensation reassures me
that I have every chance to
be successful as a future
educator.

18. Now vs. Future
■ Now: Teacher licensure is based on inputs.
■ Future: An outcome-driven model is a more direct measure of teacher
preparation and effectiveness than a solely input-driven model.
■ Now: Licensure exams are the only way to measure skills and abilities.
■ Future: Teachers demonstrate skills, competencies and effectiveness through a
menu of options that sustain the rigor and quality of the profession, while
providing flexibility.
■ Now: Teaching is an undervalued profession.
■ Future: Teachers are regarded as professionals and provided competitive
salaries, professional support, and advancement opportunities.
19. Myth vs. Fact
■ Myth: The primary issue contributing to the teacher shortage is teacher pay.
■ Fact: While compensation is a major factor contributing to teacher shortage, it is
not the only factor.
■ Myth: The draft model will lower standards for teachers entering the profession.
■ Fact: The contrary is true. The draft model holds all teachers to a higher standard,
requiring them to demonstrate effectiveness to advance in the profession.
■ Myth: The draft plan will shortchange teachers with a master’s degree.
■ Fact: Separate bonuses and local supplements would still apply on top of the new
base minimum pay levels proposed. Additional pay for certain degrees or national
certification are still up to the legislature.
20. Myth vs. Fact
■ Myth: The draft plan discourages teachers to be traditionally prepared.
■ Fact: The contrary is true. State data shows most traditional EPP prepared
students become our highest quality teachers. The draft plan continues to require
similar rules for future teachers to choose traditional or alternative preparation
program support, but incentivizes teachers to utilize the best routes so they may
enter the profession at a higher initial license and pay level.
21. Defining success
• Recruit and retain high-quality teachers
• Teachers are more robustly supported
• Teachers have opportunities to advance/lead within the classroom
• Compensation strategy that grows as teachers expand their career
• Student, workforce and economic success!
22. Next steps
■ April 2022: Bi-monthly updates to State Board of Education on
subcommittee progress
■ Summer 2022: Submit final PEPSC solution to State Board of
Education
■ 2023: PEPSC solution converted to legislation for General
Assembly action
Editor's Notes
• Elevate the teaching profession, making it a more attractive career choice.
• Keep high-quality teachers in the classroom, while letting them advance professionally.
• Attract and retain highly qualified candidates in the profession to ensure a quality education for all students.
• Providing better teacher supports, advancement opportunities, tailoring measures of effectiveness to the teacher rather than one-size-fits-all approach
2018: NC Education Human Capital Roundtable formed to examine and address the need for a new approach to the teaching profession.
OPTIONAL TALKING PT: Was made up of representatives from The U of NC System, NC Independent Colleges & Universities, the NC DPI, the NC State Board of Education and PEPSC.
Early 2021: HCRT presented its vision to NC State Board of Education in early 2021.
Late 2021: PEPSC subcommittees were formed.
At the direction of the State Board, the Roundtable’s vision was passed to PEPSC to be shaped into a legislative and operational proposal.

PEPSC and the subcommittees are guided by making decisions on what is best for student learning and providing a great teacher that is qualified, supported and rewarded in every classroom.
The task ahead is to build a professional system of support for teachers, centered around what students need to be successful. PEPSC’s plan is to lay out the highly specific policy and operational elements needed to do this. The vision is to keep making improvements to the plan to build an improved system of effectiveness-based licensure requirements, professional supports, and career pathways.
The draft plan that is undergoing another round of feedback and adjustments in subcommittees includes these key benefits and enhancements:
Career paths with options and flexibility
New apprenticeship option to be paid while learning to teach and get your degree
Enhanced supports to access PD and have onsite colleagues to turn too
Mentors assigned to all new teachers is first 3 to 5 years
Compensation that increases with skills and responsibilities
A profession built on feedback, growth, effectiveness and impact – rather than on time served
Incentivizing the best preparation routes so more teachers will be highly qualified
And finally... Making sure that responsibilities are scaffolded so new teachers are not placed in the hardest classrooms and mentors have the time needed to coach peers
The draft plan and the vision overall is to build career phases, with options, autonomy and flexibility, but anchored by rigorous expectations for meeting students’ needs
TA salary range for reference is 21-33k

MISCONCEPTIONS:
Lowering standards
Licensure exams are only effective way to (base system solely on EVAAS)
Primary issue to shortage is teacher pay
Proposal will short change teachers who earned master’s degree
EPP (prep programs) making sure that all the fears from schools of ed are dispelled
Advanced teaching roles AND residency roles
Merit/Performance pay
Inputs are good, too, we can’t just focus on outputs (clarification: the outputs measure the inputs!)

We believe our vision is a template for success. North Carolinians will win if state leaders consider, review and build on this vision because
The idea clears the way for a better, more diverse, more equitably distributed teacher workforce—and can help restore the respect the profession deserves
The public would be assured that licensed teachers are demonstrating increased mastery in skills, knowledge, and instructional capabilities more than ever before
The idea may entice early career educators and those interested in making a career switch to your state because NC would be the first in the nation to innovate in this way.
This would be an investment in our teachers and your students—but also an investment for North Carolina’s workforce and economy as a whole—as teaching is the profession that makes all other professions possible
We have prepared some handouts for the board that outline further reasons and rationale for our ideas.
