Section E
Statewide Snapshot of Teacher Competency Implementation Guidelines Developed by the Effective Teaching with Technology Assessment Work Group

Time did not permit a more in-depth discussion for all five purposes described in Section D, thus the group selected two for development of a set of things to consider when implementing an assessment of teacher competency. This Section includes suggestions and considerations for a statewide snapshot using a self-report survey.

For a statewide snapshot of teacher competency and for large scale planning of professional development: (not necessarily possible to disaggregate):

• Self-report surveys could be efficient, effective, reliable and valid if
  ­ individual teachers are anonymous and
  ­ assessment causes no individual consequences
  
• Scientific sampling should be used (unless all teachers participate)
• Could be bolstered by validation, calibration, weighting of survey data using other methods
