In an effort to help states meet the needs of their districts, especially underperforming districts, SCEL has developed this toolkit for SEAs to use to increase district leadership capacity.
The purpose of the literature review is to a) identify areas within the updated InTASC standards that are supported by empirical evidence and b) identify areas within the standards that are supported by normative arguments (as opposed to empirical research).
The webcast is a recording of the public release from a briefing earlier in the day, featuring Thomas Luna, Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction, Jason Glass, Iowa Director of Education, Gene Wilhoit, CCSSO Executive Director, moderated by Chris Minnich, incoming CCSSO Executive Director.
CCSSO, in collaboration with School Improvement Network, has released an innovative online resource to promote collaborative professional learning for teachers around the InTASC standards and learning progressions. InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards: An Interactive Guide to Understanding and Applying the InTASC Standards to Teacher Effectiveness and Student Success is packed with resources, including videos, and incorporates unique social media tools into a highly interactive cloud-based e-reading platform called the LumiBook.
