SI 2013 – PLANS (STILL) UNDERWAY!
• “Summer Institute is not about just [curriculum] content, rather the
work of the agency”
• FOCUS: Building Leadership Capacity to Change Teacher
Practice and Change Student Outcomes
• We are thinking differently about the overall structure
• Choice
• LEA/Charter School involvement
• More facilitation, less direct training
• Integrated content – topic-based
• Greater integration of technology
MISSION, VISION AND GOALS OF SUMMER INSTITUTE
2013
MISSION
This year’s Summer Institute will build on the knowledge and skills learned from previous Institutes
with a focus on building district- and school-level leadership capacity to improve teacher
practice and student outcomes. To accomplish this, the collective agency will provide a handson, highly engaging, two-day professional development experience that supports the transition to
the new NC Standard Course of Study, the North Carolina Educator Evaluation System (NCEES), the
State Accountability System, with an emphasis on Data Literacy. NCDPI will also feature an
introduction to Home Base, NC’s statewide instructional improvement (IIS) and student information
system (SIS) for teachers, students, parents, and administrators.
VISION
NCDPI will collaborate with district and school leaders through cross-agency design teams to
facilitate group discussions, model best practices and intentionally make connections to each of
the state initiatives utilizing technology and collaborative processes.

GOALS
Facilitate collaboration and district planning between LEAs/Charter Schools to ensure
statewide success
Build interdependence among the LEAs and Schools within a region and across the state
Model the alignment and interconnectedness of the collective work of the agency so districts
can make the same connections locally

SOME GUIDING PRINCIPLES
We are working to Change Teacher Practice in order
to Change Student Outcomes.
• Content for all sessions will be housed on one wikispace.
• Pre-work for participants is strongly encouraged.
• Common Themes throughout all sessions: Home Base,
Standards 1-6, DuFour questions, Universal Design for Learning,
Guskey’s model of evaluating PD, online modules
• Objectives for each session are critical. Clearly defining what
the participant will learn and experience is extremely
important. Therefore, fine tuning the title of a session is an
option, but leadership will have to approve any proposed
adjustments.
HOME BASE
Home Base must be woven into every session (although there is
one Design Studio dedicated to Home Base).
• Assessment
• Lesson Planning
• Resources
• Professional Development
• Educator Evaluation
• Report building
• Student Information
FACILITATED TEAM TIME
• Please allot time at the end of your sessions (both
design and remodeling) for participants to reflect
on your session. FTT will design the input mode and
give to us soon.
• Please develop a section on your wiki page of top 3
resources. FTT will use this to build a piece for their
afternoon session.
