Continuum of Teaching PracticeDirectionsTulare County Office of
EducationBTSA Induction Program21Read the element and think of
evidence of your teaching practice related to that element. The
continuum is designed so that as you enter the induction program
you will be at least in the Emerging column. As you move to the
right across the columns, it assumes that you do everything in the
columns to the left. So in the example, if you place yourself in
Integrating, you are recognizing, guiding maintaining, and
providing. Understanding the leading verbs is key to establishing
which column best describes your current practice. Often the
description also talks about the frequency of the action (in single
lessons or series). The columns build on each other as you move to
the right. The Innovating Column is not used in BTSA Induction.
Step 1With your Support Provider, read the descriptions in the
Emerging, Exploring, Applying, Integrating columns. (Innovating is
not used during BTSA Induction.) Determine which description best
describes your current teaching practice. This should be a rich
discussion between the two of you about things you do and what the
SP has observed. Note carefully the words in the descriptions that
separate the columns, so that you can select the column that most
clearly reflects your practice.What do I do to meet each part of
the description?
How do I do it?
What is the outcome of what I do?Step 2Highlight in yellow the
appropriate description.Year 1 PTs use blue font.
Year 2 PTs use green font.Step 3Date your response with the
month, day and year. Remember, you will use this continuum twice,
once in year one and once in year two. Step 4Select a piece of
evidence that illustrates why you think you are in the column you
have chosen.Describe your piece of evidence. The description will
be in narrative form. It is all right to use first person. Give
specific examples. For example, if you say, I use a variety of
strategies to check for understanding. Continue the response by two
or three examples of strategies that you use. Then a sentence about
the outcome. The outcome might be what students do or think or what
you learned or changed in your teaching. Type your response in the
column that you have highlighted. The boxes on the continuum open
as you type.Both first and second year PTs should be able to
respond to each element of each of the six CSTPs.Each level
addresses what a teacher should know and be able to do, in
addition, in CSTP #1 and #2 are what students would be doing at
each level of practice.The student information is written in brown
font, please read the descriptor, reflect on your classroom and
find a level that best describes what students are doing. Highlight
the descriptor in yellow, date your response, turn font to blue for
Year 1 PT and green for Year 2 PT, and record evidence of students
practice under the appropriate level to validate the level
chosen.Standard 2 CSTP: Creating and maintaining effective
environments for student learningWorking with your table, complete
the chart you were given. Make the assumption that you are in the
column on the chart. Working together, format the response as we
have just described: Highlighting the description being responded
to, using blue or green font (marker), date. Then write a response
that includes what you do, how you do it, and what the outcome
is.Any Questions?Margaret [email protected]/SP Work
