19 In this organizer you narrow your content focus by choosing Selected Response or Constructed Response. Using your charts, Identify content addressed in the Exercise Description and Rubric. List the key concepts from the standards, information from cohort sessions or other resources such as individual knowledge/experiences to elaborate on the content identified. Then analyze where you are now in terms of your strengths and needs. Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft

20 As you review your C1 chart for selected response, decide what content you need. Notice both the description and rubric are listed as a beginning point. This column is about you deciding what you need to know to prepare yourself. Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft

21 Next think about these identified content areas and elaborate on them

22 Now analyze where you are now in terms of this content and where you need to go. What do you need to do next… Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft

23 Here is an example of what this might look like using the Exceptional Needs certificate. REMEMBER the only one who knows what you need to do to prepare is YOU. Sharing this with a peer is beneficial because you may find an unknown resource, clarify your next step or a need. Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft

24 Once you have analyzed your individual strengths and needs, the next step is the develop your plan. You’ll go back to the next steps you’ve identified or needs or strengths to help narrow your plan. Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft

25 Using your next steps, strenghts, needs, identified content, choose your study focus.

31 Dates to Remember Deadlines for 2015-2016
Application deadline: January 31, 2016 Full payment due: January 31, 2016 Withdrawal and refund deadline: January 31, 2016 ePortfolio window: April 1 – May 18, 2016 Assessment center window: March - June 15,2016 Scores released on or before December 31, 2016 Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft

32 Scoring This is the elephant in the room for continuing candidates.
Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft

33 Weighting of Scores Though the weights across the Assessment Center (40%) and Portfolio (60%) Sections remain the same, the weights for the individual components were necessary revised to reflect the new composition of these sections: Assessment Center (Component 1) – 40% Split equally between CRI and SRI Portfolio (Components 2, 3, and 4) – 60% Differentiation in Instruction (C2) – 25% Teaching Practice and Learning Environment (C3) – 50% Reflective and Effective Practitioner (C4) – 25% Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft

34 Floor Score In addition to meeting an overall cut score (which is TBD), a floor average score of 1.75 will be required on the Assessment Center (Component 1) and Portfolio (Components 2, 3, and 4) sections. The value of 1.75 sends the message to candidate and policymakers that: National Board values both assessment center and portfolio aspects of teaching, and Candidates cannot demonstrate little or no evidence of what each section measures to earn certification. Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft

35 What is a Floor Score? Specifically, the floor score requirements are:
Candidates must earn a minimum average score of 1.75 on Component 1: Content Knowledge, which is also referred to as the Assessment Center Section. The average score for the Assessment Center Section is based on averaging the scores from the three constructed response exercises and the selected response section. Candidate must earn a minimum average score of 1.75 on Components 2, 3, an 4, which is also known as the Portfolio Section. The average score for the Portfolio Section is based on averaging the scores from the three referenced components. Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft

36 What has changed? Floor Score

37 Scoring Rules Minimum average score for portfolio and assessment center Minimum average score for portfolio Component 4 Component 3 Component 2 Minimum average score for assessment center Selected response items Constructed response exercises Copyright © National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University Draft
