Self-Assessment Activity • You each have 7 dots • Review the poster pages around the room • Place your dot in the area that best reflects your current understanding. • One dot per page. • As you return, move into groups of 5 (or 6) comprised of people from districts other than your own with a mixture of roles.
Current and Revised Criteria • In your groups • Review current and revised teacher criteria • How are the Similar? • How do they Differ?

Exploring the teacher criteria • Number off groups 1-8 and repeat • Divide a piece of chart paper into halves-horizontally • Across the top portion label WHAT KNOWLEDGE AND/OR SKILLS ARE NECESSARY? • Across the bottom portion, label WHAT EVIDENCE WOULD YOU COLLECT?
Exploring the teacher criteria • In pairs or dyads write a six word summary to define the criteria. • Share with your group. • What did you notice about engaging in this activity? • Using the draft definitions from the pilots/state, how similar are your definitions?
