By: Sarah Rosengard

2. Becoming a new teacher
Even though everyone has been a student not everyone has been a teacher.
The purpose of this PowerPoint is to inform you about professional development for teachers in the state of California.
Both future and current educators are always striving to learn more and do their best-that is why professional development is important as it keeps all teachers up date on the latest protocols and regulations.

3. Evolution of teacher professionalism: 2008-2016
In the California statute requires that all potential candidate for grades K-12 must pass an assessment based on their teaching performance in order to earn his or her credential.
In turn California Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs) were created to evaluate a candidates ability.
There are three teaching performance assessments that require “… a candidate to complete defined tasks relating to subject-specific pedagogy, designing and implementing instruction and student assessment, and a culminating teaching experience or event” (General Information, 2008, para 6-7).
Potential educators are evaluated by trained professionals via a rubric that captures the level of his or her performance. All assessments must ensure reliability, validity, and fairness.
