  4. Your Deadline is May 1, 2013 • Get started now! • Allow plenty of time for multiple videos. • Allow time for written components to have proof readers. • Expect the unexpected.

  5. Getting Started • Start a draft ASAP so you’ll have something to edit and review. • Follow these directions from the PAEMST application: “The electronic files containing the narrative must be formatted as follows:  8.5 by 11-inch page dimensions  12-point font  Double-spaced  At least 1-inch margins all around”

  6. What should your resume include? • From the application instructions… • “A résumé is required that outlines the applicant’s education, employment history, and participation in professional development activities. The document may not exceed 2 pages.” • Your resume for PAEMST does NOT need an objective. • Do not use space at the top for address or contact information as on a resume for a job application. Your contact information is elsewhere in the application.

  7. Dimension One: Mastery of mathematics or science content appropriate for the grade level taught. • The narrative for Dimension One should be about threepages. • Dimension Two: Use of instructional methods and strategies that are appropriate for the students in the class and that support student learning. • The narrative for Dimension Two should be about three pages. • Dimension Three: Effective use of student assessments to evaluate, monitor, and improve student learning. The narrative for Dimension Three should be about three pages.

  8. Dimension Four: Reflective practice and life-long learning to improve teaching and student learning. The narrative for Dimension Four should be about twopages. Dimension Five: Leadership in education outside the classroom. The narrative for Dimension Five should be about one page.

  9. Next Steps-Get started on your video and on your writing if possible before the end of this month.Have drafts of at least some of your application documents available at later sessions next month.

  10. Helpful Timeline • Feb- March or as soon as you are nominated • Resume/vita completed – 2 pages max • Request for 3 letters of recommendation – best to ask for more so you can select. You may want to provide highlights for the letter with your request • Select topic/concept for lesson/video • Practice video-taping your class so they are relaxed with the camera in the classroom • Collect supplemental materials ( see supplemental materials in the PAEMST application)

  11. March Timeline • Write rough drafts for 5 dimensions- you can complete some of these dimensions • Video tape the lesson and review the video. You may need to do this more than once. Remember your video must not have any “stops” • You may video tape more than one class so you can select the video to use • Check on status of recommendation letters.

  12. April Timeline • Complete the writing of the dimensions • Have the final video ready • Have one or two people read your application. • Put the entire application together. • Review it by April 22nd • Upload the video two weeks before the deadline so there is not a problem at the last minute. • Send the application by April 29th • Good luck! Let us know if you reach the finals.
