Purpose
• To develop a deeper conceptual understanding of each of the NC Professional Teaching Standards.
• To practice assigning ratings for Inter-rater reliability
At the end of this meeting, participants will:
• Identify teacher behaviors and actions that describe the standards and elements of the NC Professional Teaching Standards with a focus on literacy, 21st Century Skills and Global Awareness
• Understand the importance of data in distinguishing among the ratings.
• Improve the fidelity of ratings for teacher evaluation.
• Explore the “Nuts and Bolts” of the Online Tool

Observable Behaviors?
• Determine if the behaviors suggested by previous participants are clear – or are they more like elements?
• Is each one observable?
• Which Standard and Element is represented by each sticky? (Use the Teacher Evaluation Manual).
Gallery Walkwith the Standards
• Count off 1-5.
• Start with the Standard that matches your number.
Gallery Walkwith the Standards
• With a partner, read each of the elements and descriptors posted.
• Describe an observable behavior that exemplifies this element on a sticky note and post it beside the element.– Validate or question what someone else
has written – Add new behaviors/examples to the
Standard. and label with Standard/Element
• Rotate to the next Standard/Element.
How do you see the Standards?Let’s Get 21st Century with it!
• Standard I: – Teachers demonstrate leadership.
• Standard II: – Teachers establish a respectful
environment for adiverse population of students.
• Standard III: – Teachers know the content they teach.

Rating Teacher Behaviors
• Read each behavior and decide which Rating is appropriate. (Don’t look at the back of the card)!
• When you are finished, build a progression of behaviors from Developing to Distinguished. Think about the growth inherent in the behaviors.
What about data?
Consider the role of data and evidences…
