Susan’s suggestions for ACCAS Professional Development Plan: 1. Create an ACCAS Professional Development Advisory Committee to include ACCAS President & Vice-President, Committee Members. 2. Base ACCAS PD Plan on National Staff Development Council (NSDC) Standards: www.nsdc.org to support student learning. 3. Identify strands, content and cycle for PD Plan from October Survey information, the ACCAS Dominican Republic meeting and the ACCAS Colombia MAP test conversation. These strands could be: a. Leadership / Collaboration / Organizational Effectiveness. b. Assessment, including MAP. c. Curriculum. d. Instruction. 4. Plan for developmental stages of programs: initiation, implementation, and institutionalization. 5. Develop procedures and policies for ACCAS Professional Development. Areas identified by Colombian ACCAS Schools from MAP communications: MAP Collection and sharing of data between schools for benchmarking. Schools are sharing the RIT mean scores for each grade level tested in Math, Reading and Language Usage for each testing period. There is discussion about whether one person has the time to aggregate the Comprehensive Data File (CDF) in Excel format to develop ACCAS Colombia norms. Determine which factors impact student learning positively: o Hours of instruction per area per grade o Published curriculum o Materials / Textbooks / Programs o Teaching styles o Teacher turnover and years of experience o Class size, teacher/student ratio o Assessments o Intervention and Gifted programs o Instructional practices Sharing documents in Spanish for parents Sharing logistical information Sharing demographics o % of students whose native language is English
