InTASC/CEC Standards

This is where you will include your introduction. Include a thesis statement that clearly identifies the purpose of the paper and prepares the reader for what they will be reading. All paragraphs should be 3-8 sentences long. Check spelling, grammar, and word usage before submitting. Include citations and a references list that are formatted using APA Style. Throughout your paper you should include a sequential progression of ideas related to each other.

Summary of Key Themes

In this section, explain how two common themes are represented in each of the two sets of standards and how they relate to the knowledge, skills, and values of effective teachers. An in-text citation for the standards looks like this (CCSSO, 2011) and (CEC, 2015).

Collaboration and Data-Driven Instructional Planning

In this section, describe an accurate and thorough description regarding how each set of standards addresses professional collaboration and data-driven instructional planning. Don’t forget to cite within the text here as well! An in-text citation for the standards looks like this (CCSSO, 2011) and (CEC, 2015).

Professional Expectations

In this section, explain an accurate and insightful statement regarding how teachers are expected to assume the responsibilities of improving practice and advancing the profession. An in-text citation for the standards looks like this (CCSSO, 2011) and (CEC, 2015).

Conclusion

Summarize your paper and refer back to your thesis statement. This is an example please paraphrase in your own words. InTASC standards were initially created for beginner teachers, but are now used as a standard for performance (CCSSO, 2011). CEC also created standards for beginning teachers who work specifically with students with special needs (CEC, 2015). The previously mentioned standards follow a very student-centered, reflective approach that will ensure students are prepared to attend college or the workforce (CCSSO, 2011; CEC, 2015). Hopefully, in the years to come, these standards will identify the roles and responsibilities of educators and distinguish between dedicated and motivated educators and those who are not.
