  1. Building a Pipeline of Teaching Excellence Wendy Miller, NBCT STAR Mentor Seattle Public Schools

  2. Overview • ATLAS overview • i3 Project overview • Where we’ve been • Plans for the future • Q & A

  3. ATLAS An online professional development resource with: • Video examples of teaching with written reflective analyses from National Board Certified Teachers • Tools that support focused inquiry into examples of teaching • Ways of linking to multiple sets of standards Designed to: • Provide pre-service and early-career teachers with examples of accomplished teaching and reflection • Support the development of shared professional language and standards of practice • Make rich, inquiry based, professional learning opportunities more widely available

  4. Tagging of ATLAS Cases We are in the process of tagging ATLAS cases to the following: • National Board Standards • High Leverage Teaching Practices • edTPA rubrics • Common Core State Standards – Mathematics • Next Generation Science Standards There will be more to come!

  5. ATLAS Cases = NBCT Entries • Cases in ATLAS are drawn only from NBCTs, and consist only of entries scoring 3.5 or above • All personally identifiable information is removed from entries, and Cases are not assigned to districts or teacher preparation programs in the NBCT’s state • Cases in ATLAS are drawn entirely from entries submitted by NBCTs from 2011 on • In that same year, permission forms were changed to explicitly alert candidates that their entries might be used in an online database

  6. Clear Permissions • NB has always retained all rights to submitted entries, including the right to use them for PD purposes • In 2011 the releases signed by students, adults, and candidates was clarified specifically to note our intended use of entries in an online database • All entries used were governed by these releases

  7. Clear Communications • When ATLAS was in development, all NBCTs were informed of this project • Before an NBCT entry is used in ATLAS, its use is announced to the NBCT • Responses: to date, NBCTs responses to these announcements have been universally supportive

  8. What it looks like Here’s a preview of ATLAS!

  9. Building a Pipeline of Teaching Excellence • Examples of instructional practice and analysis at the accomplished level • Supports pre-service and early-career teachers’ developing practices through exemplars • Contributes to a professional continuum, grounded in performance assessment, from pre-service through National Board Certification

  10. Project Partners • Six edTPA institutions and eight P12 partners • edTPA • American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) • American Federation of Teachers (AFT) • National Education Association (NEA) • Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) • TeachingWorks at University of Michigan

  11. Project Partners

  12. Significance of this Work • Connecting work across the continuum of professional learning • Creating a rich language for teacher learning and teaching practice improvement • Improving teacher quality through educative assessment

  13. Work thus far All partners met to review the protocols and consider overlapping and distinct support needs for pre-service and early career teachers. All partners meet to share feedback from testing ATLAS in the spring and developed “user guides” to be tested in the fall. Faculty members from the partner universities met to develop protocols that reflect a normative stance regarding “good teaching”. All partners met to share feedback on the protocols, brainstorm other possible ways ATLAS can be used, and develop a plan for testing ATLAS in the spring.

  14. Putting it all together User’s Guide for Engaging Students

  15. Plans for the future • Test the six “user guides” created in June • Develop “user guides” for additional topics • Come together in January to refine the user guides based on the feedback from the testing in the fall
