Unique Professional Development Opportunity Now Available
for Assistant Principals
DPI is now providing assistant principals with an
opportunity to participate in Observation Calibration Training (OCT). This
online platform provides administrators the opportunity to improve their skills
as a classroom observer using the NCEES rubric.
Participants will be able to watch classroom videos,
observe instruction, rate teachers, and receive immediate feedback as to the
recommended ratings. Participants have the option of participating as an
individual or as a LEA/Charter team. In the 2014-2015 pilot and the
2015-2016 implementation, the more lessons
school administrators completed, the more their scoring improved.
For specific questions about this opportunity, please
visit the Observation Calibration Training (OCT)
Page or email Kimberly Simmons at kimberly.simmons@dpi.nc.gov.
