Teaching Standards: Profiles For Six States

By: Melissa Eiler White, Reino Makkonen, Kari Becker Stewart

These profiles of six states’ teaching standards supplement the REL West report, A Multistate Review of Professional Teaching Standards, (PDF) which reviews teaching standards in California, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas to inform California’s revision of its teaching standards.

For each state, you will learn:

• Teaching standards
• Teaching standards' target audience
• Structure of the teaching standards
• Teaching standards' approach to addressing the needs of special populations
• Teaching standards' approach to teachers' use of education technology
• Teaching standards' approach to accountability and student learning standards

Profiles of Key National Teaching Standards (PDF), another supplement for A Multistate Review of Professional Teaching Standards (PDF), is also available.
