Editor's Notes
- Our goal is to have every student graduate ready for the challenges of the 21st Century.21st Century Learners have: the actions, attitudes, concepts and skills that will allow students to effectively communicate, collaborate and create. These are the skills, knowledge and expertise students should master in order to succeed in work and life in the 21st century. Well developed 21st Century Learners have specific capacities in: Creativity and InnovationCommunication and CollaborationCritical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision MakingDigital CitizenshipResearch and Information FluencyTechnology Operations and ConceptsEffective 21st Century Educators offer authentic, relevant learning experiences that support the development of these skills.Toward the development of these outcomes – the Common Core movement began.Today we’ll be thinking about how skilled teachers create 21st Century classrooms.
- The NCPTS describe what teachers should know and be able to do in 21st Century classrooms.This is the basis for the teacher candidate and teacher evaluation toolsLink on Wiki
- Total time 20 minutesSupplies: 10 pieces of chart paper and markersDirections:Create small groups (10 groups so that each standard is done twice and no group is too big) and assign each group a standard, 1-5. Each group is given a piece of chart paper to create a poster of the NC Teacher Evaluation Standards 1 through 5. The group is to focus on the gist of the NCPTS so they recognize what the actual standard is about. They can create a visual, a song, a poem, a “tweet,” a text message, or any other “right-brain” conceptualization of the standard. After about 7 minutes, everyone walks around the room to see all of the posters. One person who helped create that poster stays with the poster to answer questions as others come to see it. Participants bring sticky notes and write one piece of feedback for each poster.Use the next slide to facilitate discussion and sharing of posters.
- All of the ratings for the NC Teacher Evaluation Process are defined on page 4 of the manual. On this slide, you will note that we have bolded some of the words. Let’s look at the bolded words as we look at each rating category. For example, a rating of “developing” indicates that the teacher, while showing growth, did not demonstrate basic competence. A rating of “proficient” indicates the teacher demonstrated basic competence. “Accomplished” ratings indicate that the teacher exceeded basic competence most of the time. And a rating of “Distinguished” would indicate that the teacher consistently and significantly exceeded basic competence.

And a rating of “Distinguished” would indicate that the teacher consistently and significantly exceeded basic competence.
- This is a screen shot of page 33, where a principal has marked the rubric based on an observation. It is necessary to notate the rubric for each observation. The rating for each descriptor is the lowest rating for which all descriptors are marked. As illustrated in the exampleon pages 33 and 34, the teacher would be rated as Developing on “Teachers lead in their classrooms” even thoughat least one descriptor for Proficient, Accomplished, and Distinguished was marked. This is because Developing isthe lowest rating for which all descriptors were marked. Likewise, the teacher also would be rated as Proficient on“Teachers demonstrate leadership in the school” and on each of the remaining elements. This is likely to result in anoverall rating of Proficient for Standard I.Overall ratings should not be determined until the end of the year during the Summary Evaluation Conference.
- Sometimes analogies help us better understand the ratings. Some of you have been in our regional training sessions where we discussed growing levels of competency with using a smart phone or the gadgets on a new car.Today, let’s think about how the ratings would apply to baking cakes.As a developing cake baker, you follow the recipe, but your cooking techniques aren’t always successful. Your cake might be dry, the layers may fall apart, or the icing isn’t the right consistency. You demonstrate growth by practicing and your cakes become better, although still not quite right. Look at the picture. This is a cake, and perhaps it is a better cake than the baker’s many previous attempts. However, this cake would still be unacceptable from a professional baker. This reminds us educationally of a teacher who, despite making growth, has not yet reached proficiency.As a proficient cake baker, you follow the recipe and you’ve mastered the basic cooking techniques. You are able to produce a basic layer cake with frosting that tastes good and looks nice. The cake pictured is acceptable by all measures, which reminds us educationally of basic competence with such important matters as instructional strategies or communication. In other words, this cake is acceptable and yet still has room to grow. Let’s look at the next cake from the accomplished baker.As an accomplished cake baker, you have a greater understanding of baking and on most occasions you are able to successfully incorporate additional ingredients and/or flavorings that improve the taste, appearance, and overall quality of your cakes. You’ll note that the cake pictured has multiple flavors, which reminds us educationally of differentiation and multiple instructional strategies.As a distinguished cake baker, you have an in-depth understanding of baking cakes. As such, you know the essential ingredients that must be included in all cakes. Using your knowledge, you are able to begin with the recipe, combining the essential ingredients and other add-ins to tailor your cakes to meet the tastes of the person for which you are making the cake. In other words, you understand the recipe well enough to enhance it. Your talent and skill as a distinguished baker may lead you to decorate exquisitely or even assist others in developing their baking skills. Distinguished truly is the “icing on the cake” so-to-speak. What resources do you have to help you and your teachers better understand the differences between the ratings for teachers and school executives? Your best resources are the rubrics for evaluating teachers and principals/assistant principals. The performance descriptors provided for each element of the performance standards will help you determine the expectation for each rating level. Engage in conversations with colleagues about the differences between the descriptors on the rubrics. It’s also helpful to have a firm understanding of the Standards for Teachers and School Executives. If you need a refresher on the professional standards, consider completing the N.C. Professional Teaching Standards Module and the soon-to-be-released School Executive Standards Module. --------------------------------------------------------Cake imageshttp://ellie-sparks.livejournal.com/3021.htmlhttp://www.shoveitinyourface.com/2011/02/chocolate-and-golden-vanilla-triple.htmlhttp://find-how.com/Cake-recipe.html
- After explaining the cake analogy, have table groups do the same thing for using a smartphone.Examples include:Emerging: You are aware of the advantages of smartphones, but don’t own or use one.Developing: You have read the manual but the only thing you can really do right now is make and answer a call.Proficient: All of the above and you can use it for email, a web browser, and an iPod. (Look at the bottom 4 icons – these are the basic functions of a Smart Phone.)Accomplished: All of the above and you know how to install and use apps from the App Store. Distinguished: All of the above and you help others become proficient or accomplished with their phone. You also use the phone as a GPS, you successfully take, upload, and share pictures on social networking or photo-sharing sites, you creates movies to share via YouTube.
- Please take 10 minutes to reflect and generate a list of 3 ideas as described in the shapes
