  8. In terms of the ADEPT processes, • induction/mentoring and GBE (i.e., the “assisting and developing” processes) are _____________. • formal evaluation (i.e., the “evaluating” process) is ______________. formative summative

  9. ADEPT Foundation Performance Standards

  10. ADEPT Performance Standards The ADEPT Performance Standards are statements of what teachers should know and be able to do to be effective (that is, to positively influence student learning).

  11. Currently, there are ADEPT Performance Standards for which four groups of educators? • Classroom-based teachers • Library media specialists • School guidance counselors • Speech-language therapists

  12. Who are classroom-based teachers? • Teachers of core content subjects • Teachers of related subjects (e.g., physical education, career and technology education) • Teachers of special education

  13. Into what categories do we classify effective teaching? Domains Performance Standards Key Elements

  14. What are the four domains for classroom-based teachers? • Planning • Instruction • Environment • Professionalism

  15. Which standards fall under the PLANNING domain? • APS 1: Long-Range Planning • APS 2: Short-Range Planning of Instruction • APS 3: Planning Assessments and Using Data

  16. Which standards fall under the INSTRUCTION domain? • APS 4: Establishing & Maintaining High Expectations for Learners • APS 5: Using Instructional Strategies to Facilitate Learning • APS 6: Providing Content for Learners • APS 7: Monitoring, Assessing, & Enhancing Learning

  17. Which standards fall under the ENVIRONMENT domain? • APS 8: Maintaining an Environment That Promotes Learning • APS 9: Managing the Classroom

  18. Which standard falls under the PROFESSIONALISM domain? • APS 10: Fulfilling Professional Responsibilities

  19. Domains and APSs Planning APS 1 APS 2 APS 3 Professionalism APS 10 Instruction APS 4 APS 5 APS 6 APS 7 STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Environment APS 8 APS 9

  20. What is the purpose of the key elements? The key elements define the most important aspects or components of each ADEPT Performance Standard.

  21. Key Elements The descriptions and examples that follow each key element are not intended to be transformed into ________________! checklists

  22. How many key elements are there in all? Do the key element math: • APS 1 and APS 10 each contain 5 key elements. • The other eight ADEPT performance standards each contain 3 key elements. 34

  23. In summary, effective teaching for classroom-based teachers is defined by • 4 domains, • 10 performance standards, and • 34 key elements.

  24. Further. . . These domains, standards, and key elements apply to classroom-based teachers throughout their career continuums—from pre-professional preparation through full retirement from the teaching profession.
