NC Professional Teaching Standards
Conceptualize the Standards• Review and discuss the standard assigned to your group.
• On chart paper, conceptualize the standard in a creative way. For example, you might create a visual, a song, a poem, a “tweet,” a text message, or any other “right-brain” conceptualization of the standard.
The Rubric
Accomplished• Demonstrated exemplary
understanding, mastery, and consistent integration of educational concepts and skills.
Proficient• Demonstrated the ability to apply
educational concepts consistently in real-world contexts
Developing• Demonstrated the ability to apply
educational concepts to concrete problems within limited contexts
Emerging• Demonstrated limited or superficial
knowledge and awareness of educational concepts
Ratings for Pre-Service Candidates
Distinguished• Consistently and significantly
exceeded basic competence
Accomplished • Exceeded basic competence most of the time
Proficient • Demonstrated basic competence
Developing• Demonstrated adequate growth
toward achieving standards, but did not demonstrate basic competence

What do the ratings look like?
Alignment of Teacher Candidate Rubric and In-service Teacher Rubric
• In your group, read and discuss the descriptors on the cards in the envelope.
– For each descriptor decide whether it belongs on the candidate rubric or teacher rubric.
– Arrange the descriptors in order of increasing performance level for each rubric.
– Align the candidate descriptors with the teacher descriptors that most closely match. Don’t just match words, focus on the behaviors being described.
What is your campus doing to ensure rating with fidelity?
LEA/IHE Certification of Teaching Capacity (CTC)
• Based on NC Professional Teaching Standards.
• Met = Proficient level or higher; Not met = lower than proficient
• To be recommended for licensure, candidates must meet all descriptors on the CTC.
• Signed by candidate, cooperating teacher(s), principal (or designee), & University Supervisor
To be recommended for a SP I license, a candidate must be proficient in All
descriptors of All elements of All standards
At the end of the 3rd year, beginning teachers must receive ratings of proficient or higher on all standards in order to receivea SP II license.
Educator Effectiveness
What do we need?• Setting the Context• Educator Effectiveness Policies• Common Exams• Review of Resources

Setting the Context
04/13/2023 • page 40
Why educator effectiveness?
So why is the State focusing on educator effectiveness in the face of so many other
changes?
NC is implementing a new curriculum, new assessments, new technology tools to improve instruction, new ways of engaging students, and the list goes on…
Because all our efforts in other areas depend on an effective teacher in every classroom and an effective leader in every school building.
Why educator effectiveness?
Every student in North Carolina deserves an effective teacher in all courses and grades.
The work around educator effectiveness, including the Measures of Student Learning, is grounded in the belief that:
Our students need to learn all of the standards in the North Carolina Standard Course of Study in order to be READY for their futures.
Why educator effectiveness?
Every teacher in North Carolina deserves feedback on the growth of their students.
In order to increase their effectiveness, teachers need access to high-quality data.
It’s not about firing our way to a better teaching force. It’s about creating a system that:
• Identifies the strongest teachers so that we can all learn from them, and
• Identifies those teachers who need additional support and targets that support to their needs

Why is school-wide EVAAS growth included?
• To encourage collaboration and collective ownership of overall outcomes.
Note: In 2011-12, teachers without individual EVAAS growth will have school-wide growth for Standard 6.

Key Note on Ratings• Every educator is evaluated every year
• Each standard and rating stands on its own (1 out of 6, not 1/6)
• Ratings are used to create professional development plans each year
• Ratings are used to determine status
Status
What is the difference between Ratings and Status?
04/13/2023 • page 56
Status
Ratings Status• Teachers
6 separate ratings to help teachers grow each year
• Principals8 separate ratings to help principals grow each year
• A single overall status that is determined once a principal or teacher has three years of growth data to populate 6 or 8
• Categories for Status1. In Need of Improvement
2. Effective
3. Highly Effective

Three Years of Data
04/13/2023 • page 59
Any three years of data attributable to a teacher or principal will be combined and used:
• Any grades• Any subjects• Any schools• Any districts
The three years of data do not start until they are specific to that teacher and his or her students
Status
So once a educator has a three-year average rating for Standard 6 or 8, how is status determined?
04/13/2023 • page 60
Status
• The Three Status Categories are
1. In Need of Improvement
2. Effective
3. Highly Effective

A Library of Common Exams is being designed for non-tested subjects for district use to populate Standard 6
04/13/2023 • page 68
Focusing on the “Why”
So why have statewide Measures of Student Learning/Common Exams?
1. North Carolina has a statewide evaluation system to ensure that every teacher receives a fair and consistent evaluation, regardless of his or her employing LEA
2. Teachers in all content areas should receive a Standard Six rating based on the growth of their own students on their content-specific standards
3. Most LEAs do not have the capacity to design their own assessments for all non state-tested grades and subjects
04/13/2023 • page 69
District Flexibility
• Administration online, paper/pencil or hybrid
• Date of administration
• Administration during class period or testing week
• Use in student grade
• Which assessments are administered
• How to ensure secure administration
04/13/2023 • page 70
Addressing Concerns
Who has designed the Common Exams, and how have they been designed?
•Same basic process as state assessments with the creation of assessment blueprints, generation of items, review of items, review of forms, and final production
•Over 800 teachers from across the State have involved in the blueprint creation and form review processes
•NCDPI psychometricians and test measurement specialists have been involved and will analyze (and remove from results) any poor-performing items before growth is calculated
04/13/2023 • page 71
Addressing Concerns
Why doesn’t anyone know what will be on the MSLs?
•Assessment specifications are available at: http://www.ncpublicschools.org/educatoreffect/measures/specifications/
•Online module will provide training on how to use rubrics to score performance tasks
