Variables
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
Separate APSs are needed for
 teachers of core content
subjects
 teachers of related subjects
(e.g., PE, CATE)
 special education teachers
 teachers in virtual/cyber
school settings (e-teachers)
 library media specialists
 school guidance counselors
 speech-language therapists
 school psychologists

Key Elements

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
No two sets of standards are 100% equivalent.
 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.

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?
