Author's notes:

I am just beginning to teach/learn. My first two years have been full of blunders and success stories. I suspect that I will always have ways to improve on anything I design or steal. My reflective nature will see to that. Anything I have posted is for the good of the many. Please take it and run, revise it for your own use, fix it if need be, but please keep me in the loop. I think that designing teaching tools is one of those projects that will get better with many cooks stirring the pot. If you change or perfect one of my tools please forward it to me. I would love to see what improvements are made.

How should we determine Professional Competence?

(Click on the title to view site)

"But, how do we know what makes a good teacher? What is competency in teaching? What are the criteria needed for a new teacher to already possess before they begin teaching? Who should design the assessment for teaching? What are the qualifying marks of a good teacher? Are they universal? What makes a perfect score? Will we stifle new innovations in the process of determining competency? These questions have to be addressed before we can safely say that we are finished with the creation of standard assessments."
