Key Ongoing 21st Century Initiatives

North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Survey

North Carolina Graduation Project

Key Ongoing 21st Century In Initiatives

Learn and Earn

Named among the top 50 programs in the 2008

Students attend a high school located on a college campus

They earn a high school diploma and finish with two years of college or an associate degree, at no cost to the student.

Currently there are 42 Learn and Earn high schools across the state

by 2008-09, there will be 63 such schools.

North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Survey

This survey gathers the views of the states teaching professionals

Used to help develop policy, strengthen classroom working conditions and improve the learning environment for students

The 2008 survey received responses from more than 87 percent of the 120,000 teachers

and administrators working in the state.

http://ncteachingconditions.org/

North Carolina Graduation Project

Requires high school students to demonstrate what they know and are able to do as a result of their cumulative education

Supports students as they discover interests and make connections with the real world

Encourages business partners to participate in student job shadowing experiences

North Carolina Professional Educator Standards and Evaluation System

The North Carolina State Board of Education (SBE) approved

North Carolina Professional Educator Evaluation System

Aligns public and private teacher education programs

This System is based on the NC Standards for Superintendents, the NC Standards for School Executives and the NC Professional

Teaching Standards.

The evaluation instrument for school executives (principals) was implemented on July 1, 2008.

The Teaching Personnel Performance Evaluation Instrument has been piloted and is not being implemented state-wide

Currently, public and private schools of education within colleges and universities are assessing their teacher and administrator education programs based on these Standards.http://www.ncptsc.org/

Why are these Standards important to you?

The North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards are the basis for teacher preparation, teacher evaluation, and professional development.

Colleges and universities are changing their programs; a new teacher evaluation instrument has been created; and professional development is taking on a new look based on these Standards.

Each of these include the skills and knowledge needed for the 21st century teaching and learning.

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills offers various tools and resources to assist educators in integrating 21st century skills into education. Our tools were developed through a comprehensive process involving hundreds of educators, researchers and employers across the country.

Route 21 : The goal of Route 21 is to provide an online interactive tool that demonstrates how 21st century skills can be supported through standards, professional development, assessments and curriculum and instruction.

Assess21 : Assess 21 is a Web-based repository for information on assessments of 21st century skills. This repository is designed to serve as a central hub for background information on 21st century skills assessments as they become available and is open to submissions. The goal of Assess21 is to highlight what assessments are available as well as make visible where particular gaps in the assessment of 21st century content and skill domains exist.

MILE Guide : The Partnership for 21st Century Skills developed the Milestones for Improving Learning and Education (MILE) Guide for 21st Century Skills to assist educators and administrators in measuring the progress of their schools in defining, teaching and assessing 21st Century Skills. Here you will find links to downloads, the MILE Guide online assessment and the MILE Guide workshop.
