  6. NTC’s (TELL) Initiative Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning!

  7. NTC’s (TELL) Initiative • Involves working with key education stakeholders to administer NTC’s anonymous teaching conditions survey across a state. • The purpose is to gather input from those people which research shows have the most affect on student achievement: the teachers and administrators in our schools. • The data collected is publicly reported at the school and district levels as well as the state level. • Guides and tools are provided by NTC to help leaders utilize their TELL data in improvement planning.

  8. What Have We Learned? Research Shows: • Connection to Student Achievement* • Connection to Keeping Effective Teachers* * Please contact NTC for details on research related to any of the above items

  9. NTC’s Cross-State Analyses of TELL State Results 2012-2013 • In summary: • Educators agree that conditions in five of the eight survey areas are present in their schools: School and Teacher Leadership, Community Engagement and Support, Facilities and Resources, Managing Student Conduct • Instructional practices, professional development, time are lacking. Educators across the nine states consistently report that they lack time to collaborate and plan and are burdened with routine paperwork. • Certain states showed consistency in indicating the presence of positive teaching conditions.

  12. Policy Recommendations

  13. Require comprehensive induction programs for new teachers following entry-level licensure, extending for a minimum of two years. • Successful completion of a high-quality induction program that provides embedded coaching and feedback by well-trained mentors should be a requirement for professional licensure.

  14. Embed analysis and improvement of teaching and learning conditions in school improvement processes at the state, district, and school level. • States should promote the involvement of educators, school and district leaders, and communities in using data from validated surveys to identify and improve key elements of a positive school environment. • Principals require preparation and support in leading teacher development and creating supportive conditions for teaching and learning.
