NAME:

Teacher Leader Screening Activity

ACTIVITY 1:

A teacher leader must understand the following core elements of Louisiana’s education system and how they contribute to, support, and guide teacher practice and student learning.

• Louisiana Student Content Standards
• Teacher Performance criteria—Compass rubric
• Curriculum resources (ELA Guidebooks 2.0, Eureka math, EL Education, LDOE website, etc.)

Part 1: Louisiana Content Standards (20 min.)

To find standards, go to:

Respond to each of the questions below in your own words. (i.e., How would you explain it to a fellow teacher?)

• What is a standard?

• What is the purpose/function of content standards?

• Where do teachers find Louisiana content standards?

• How do teachers use standards?

Part 2: Curriculum and Content Standards ( 30 min.)

To find the curriculum resources go to:

Respond to each of the questions below in your own words. (i.e., How would you explain it to a fellow teacher?)

Where are the primary curricular resources available to support effective teaching and student learning?
Where do teachers find the resources?
How do content standards and curricular resources align?
Choose one standard in your content area and study how the curricular resources guide teaching and
student learning to ensure that the standard is met at the appropriate level at your grade level. How
would you explain this to a fellow teacher?

ACTIVITY 2: Messaging. (10 min.)

Directions: The mission of Richland is to improve student learning in our schools by strengthening our talentpipeline. (i.e., teacher leader, mentor teacher, content leader) Many students in Louisiana are not proficient in key subject areas like mathematics and reading. What role can a teacher leader play in improving K-12 student learning and achievement in Richland Parish? Review Activity 1 and include one to two essential messages that you believe a teacher leader should communicate to teachers in their building and community at large.
