  3. Uniform and External Assessment for the Professional Certificate • WA Learns Commission: Need for Uniform and External Assessment • Too much variance among programs • 2007/08 legislative charge to the PESB: • Set standards, develop, pilot and implement a uniform and external assessment for the professional certificate.

  4. 2009 Legislation • Beginning 9/1/11, 1) may earn prof cert with minimum 2 years as defined by PESB and results of assessment authorized in 2007/08, and 2) may not require to enroll in higher edprocert program. • PESB defined minimum 2 years of experience as 1.5 FTE--and do not have to be employed, but must hold valid residency cert. • Between 1/1/10 and 9/1/11, candidates have two options: attend a higher edprocert program or submit to ProTeach Portfolio. See website for list. • 9/1/11—all candidates submit to ProTeach Portfolio.

  5. Other PESB Policy • Approved the changes to WAC 181-79A adding elements to the external assessment including the PGP and PGT (PGT will still receive clock hours.) • Residency certs expiring in 2010 or 2011can register for ProTeach Portfolio and receive a two-year renewal.

  6. Highlights • Fully electronic end-to-end online assessment • Candidates have own private, secure website • Maximum flexibility and choice for registration & submission • Examples for the various textboxes are available online

  7. More Highlights • WA educators trained and used as scorers • Assessment results will be used to educate the system for continuous improvement • Validity and reliability monitored overtime • Registration fee: $495

  8. The Entries and Rubrics • Entries measure and are fully aligned to 3 standards and 12 criteria • #1 – Professional Growth and Contributions • #2 – Building a Learning Community • #3 – Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment • Rubrics aligned to each criterion • Composite score = sum of 12 criterion scores • Passing standard set after 1st operational cohort plus pilot portfolios

  9. Administration and Management • Administered by ETS and LiveText • Ethics and Integrity Policies ensure each candidate submits their own work

  10. Proposed PESB Policy Change • In May 2010 the board will consider a cost neutral proposal to award 150 clock hours to candidates successfully completing the ProTeach Portfolio.

  11. Length of Residency Cert • At what point should teachers engage in the Professional Certificate process? • Previously – too drawn out / up to TWELVE years • Appropriate post induction – years 3-5 • At what point, if not successful on ProTeach will we withdraw licensure? • Expectation will be completion by end of year 5 • Conditions for renewal (2, 2-yr renewals): • Lapses in employment • Attempted and failed

  12. Verifying Private School Teachers • Eligibility (1.5 FTE in at least 2 years) is verified at registration. • If ineligible or record incorrect, a message will appear with a form to be downloaded.
