Remember they are your colleagues They wear as many hats as you do at your institution
Key Concerns Regardless of Hat That You’re Wearing • Constructing Meaning • Establishing a tone, climate and culture of assessment (remember hat doesn’t matter) • Developmental and Evolutionary Process • Encouraging contrasting views, but reaching consensus • Recognizing the difference between accountability and responsibility
Consider Triangulation When Considering the BOE Perspective Standards Colleagues Evidence
The BOE TEAM will work with standards—not what they have “back home” Colleagues Standards NCATE Standards 2006 INTASC STATE LEARNED SOCIETIES Evidence
Remember they are Colleagues Colleagues Standards • Sensitivity • Evidence • Interviews • Scheduling • Coherent Presentations Evidence
Triangulation is a key word as you work through evidence to support continuous improvement Standards Colleagues Evidence
Recommendations Standards Colleagues • Help Team make meaning by providing evidence • Regard accreditation process as self renewing—it shows • Have a good time-IT SHOWS! Evidence
In Summary: • Your Colleagues wear the same hats • Your Colleagues(the Board of Examiners) will work with standards • Your Colleagues will view your teacher education program through standards and evidence • Help them make meaning by triangulating as much evidence and data as possible
