North Carolina Teaching Standards a) Take five minutes to review the North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards.North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards – As you read about each standard, reflect on your personal strengths and areas for improvement. Using a notecard at your table, rate yourself in order of the standard with which you feel most knowledgeable to the standard with which you are the least comfortable. b) Make your way to the poster with the standard of your greatest strength. Share with others in your Standard Group why you have chosen this standard as your strength. On the top of the poster, each participant should graffiti write experiences, expertise, or other reasons each thinks this standard is his/her strength. c) Make your way to the poster with the standard that is your second greatest strength. Read the information already on the poster. Repeat the steps in "b" above by discussing with colleagues your rationale for ranking this standard your second strongest. Then, add any additional thoughts to the top of the poster. d) Now, move to the poster that you chose as your weakest standard. Read the comments other participants have added to the poster. Discuss with colleagues why you think this standard offers you the most potential for growth. At the bottom of the poster, add reasons why you are least comfortable with this standard.

Reflection Activity On the reverse side of your note card where you ranked your level of strength with each standard, take a few moments to think about areas for improvement. Reflect on the group conversations, your own self-assessment, and the standards themselves. Take five minutes to write a personal commitment for the school year.
