NC Professional Development Standards

STANDARDS-AT-A-GLANCE…

The North Carolina professional development standards begin with the premise that a primary goal of professional development is to help educators develop the knowledge, skills, behavior, and insights needed to become effective classroom teachers and school leaders in 21st Century Classrooms

The standards are organized according to the context/process/content schema:

• Context Standards (the organization, system, culture)

– Learning Communities

– Leadership

– Resources

• Process Standards (the “how”)

– Data Driven

– Evaluation

– Research-Based

– Design

– Learning

– Collaboration

• Content Standards (the “what”)

– Equity

– Quality Teaching

– Family Involvement
