Turn and Talk Share your notes with a partner. What similarities did you have with your partner? If there were differences, what were they? As you discuss with your partner, refine the professional responsibilities listed. 14

Your Turn Standards Carousel: At each standard station “Where do you see links between the professional responsibilities of an effective teacher and the standard that you just read? Note on the chart paper. Similarities in this standard to my personal experiences/knowledge. – “How do my teachers do this?” Questions/wonders that I have about this standard. – “How could my teachers do this?” “What support do I need to provide?” 8

Reflections: Turn and Talk In which indicators did you find most similarities? Why do you think that is? In which indicators did you find the most differences? Why? How do the differences challenge your thinking about effective teacher that enables student learning? How do you get teachers in your building to think about what they are currently doing and what they could be doing? 14
