Challenge: Use multiple measures of teacher effectiveness, but make them efficient.
First Task
To create a crosswalk between other sets of professional teaching standards and SC’s ADEPT Performance Standards (APSs) for classroom-based teachers.
ADEPT Performance Standards for Classroom-Based Teachers
1. To whom will the standards apply?
These standards will apply to
teachers of core content subjects
teachers of related subjects (e.g., PE, CATE)
special education teachers
Separate APSs are needed for
teachers in virtual/cyber school settings (e-teachers)
library media specialists school guidance counselors speech-language therapists school psychologists
ADEPT Performance Standards for Classroom-Based Teachers
2. What is the current APS framework?
Domains(4)
Performance Standards(10)
Key Elements(34)
Walking the Walk
Revalidate the ADEPT Performance Standards by comparing them with other established sets of professional standards.
Crosswalk
A crosswalk is a design that shows equivalent elements from one set of standards to another.
Crosswalks are unidirectional.
Crosswalk Challenges
One set of standards may have an element that doesn’t exist in the other set.
One set of standards may have an element that is split into two or more elements in the other set.
One set of standards may allow an element to be repeated (i.e., used in more than one standard) while the other set does not.
The two sets of standards may have different vocabularies.
No two sets of standards are 100% equivalent.

Crosswalk Criteria
Is the decision point (e.g., indicator, key element) important?
Does the decision point discriminate between effective and ineffective professional practice?
Can valid evidence (proof) be obtained in order to make the decision?
Does the decision point apply to all classroom-based teachers?
Does the set of standards contain an appropriate number of decision points?

Crosswalk Process
For each indicator,
determine the appropriate recommendation,
highlight noteworthy concepts and vocabulary, and
add comments.
Next Steps for SC
Crosswalks will be posted to the group site on the Web. Task force members will be invited to submit additional feedback.
Based on the input from the task force members, the ADEPT staff will develop a framework for the revised ADEPT standards.
The draft of the framework will be posted to the web site and will be open for discussion at the next task force meeting.
Future Steps for SC: Rubrics
Critical Questions About Indicators
Do highly effective teachers
do things more frequently?
do things better?
do things differently?
do different things?
