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

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 ATLAS

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! Tagging of ATLAS Cases

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 ATLAS Cases = NBCT Entries

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 Clear Permissions

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 Clear Communications

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

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 Building a Pipeline of Teaching Excellence

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 Significance of this Work

Work thus far 2013 February 2013 July 2014 January 2014 June Faculty members from the partner universities met to develop protocols that reflect a normative stance regarding “good teaching”. All partners met to review the protocols and consider overlapping and distinct support needs for pre-service and early career teachers. 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. All partners meet to share feedback from testing ATLAS in the spring and developed “user guides” to be tested in the fall.

Putting it all together User’s Guide for Engaging Students

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 Plans for the future
