Standards for Professional Practice

The state adopted Model Core Teaching Standards (InTASC) and Educational Leadership/Administrator Standards (ISLLC/ELCC) define what teachers and administrators should know and be able to do to ensure that every student is ready for college, careers and engaged citizenship in today’s world. Districts are required to build their evaluation and support systems using these adopted standards.

The state has identified what constitutes both an effective teacher and an effective leader in the state ratified SB 290 and the adopted Educator Effectiveness Framework. The InTASC standards articulate teacher performances, essential knowledge, and critical dispositions for each of the 10 standards. LEAs will be required to ensure their evaluation instruments measure a teacher’s effectiveness in all of these standards and result in an accurate performance rating based on these measures.

In the adoption of the educational leadership/administrator standards, Oregon was very explicit and intentional about highlighting the importance of cultural competency and equitable practice. As a result, Oregon added language from the Educational Leadership Constituents Council (ELCC) 2009 standards to each of the 6 Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) 2008 standards (referred to as Performance Expectations and Indicators in CCSSO and ISLLC publications). The final results are the Oregon Educational Leadership/Administrator standards.

The Leadership/Administrator standards articulate administrator performance expectations for each of the 6 standards. Essential knowledge and critical dispositions associated with each standard can be found in the CCSSO/ISLLC standards companion guide, Performance Expectations and Indicators for Education Leaders. LEAs will be required to ensure their evaluation instruments measure an administrator’s effectiveness in all of these 6 standards and result in an accurate performance rating based on these measures.

Both the Model Core Teaching Standards and Educational Leadership standards build on national standards, are research based, utilize best practices, and were developed with a wide variety of stakeholders over the course of several years. Districts are required to build their evaluation and support systems using these adopted standards.
