Standard 1: Content Knowledge Standard 1: Effective elementary mathematics specialists demonstrate and apply knowledge of major mathematics concepts, algorithms, procedures, connections, and applications within and among mathematical content domains.

Program evidence of completers’ attainment of Standard 1: - Assessments are aligned to mathematical domain competencies of NCTM CAEP Mathematics Content for Elementary Mathematics Specialist. - Assessments, rubrics, and data charts are aligned with standard elements. - Alignment to standard element(s) is provided within assessment rubrics per criterion. - Data charts are aligned with an assessment rubric and report candidate performance by the level (individually scored items) at which it is collected. - Assessment rubrics contain discernible levels of performance. - Assessments are required of all candidates.

Decision Criteria: Attainment of Standard 1 is based on three considerations: - At least two assessments accompanied by completer performance data from a minimum of two applications for an initial report or a minimum of one application for a response to conditions or revised report and selected from: o Grades in required mathematics or mathematics education courses aligned to elements of NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) and to mathematical domain competencies of NCTM CAEP Mathematics Content for Elementary Mathematics Specialist and overall mathematics GPAs in required mathematics coursework  Transcript analysis (required for candidates where mathematics or equivalent coursework was not taken at program’s institution) that includes required undergraduate content major coursework alignment to NCTM CAEP Mathematics Content for Elementary Mathematics Specialist o Content-based assessment such as projects, course or clinical practice portfolio, or other course products aligned to mathematical domain competencies of NCTM CAEP Mathematics Content for Elementary Mathematics Specialist and accompanied by completer performance data - Content-based assessments (course grades, projects, course portfolio, or other course products) collectively demonstrating at least an 80% alignment to each domain of NCTM CAEP Mathematics Content for Elementary Mathematics Specialist and accompanied by completer performance data - A preponderance of evidence drawn from the elements o SASB policy defines preponderance of evidence as “an overall confirmation that candidates meet standards in the strength, weight, or quality of evidence,” rather than satisfactory performance for each element. A commonly accepted definition of preponderance of evidence is a requirement that more than 50% of the evidence favors a given outcome. NCTM program review decisions are based on the preponderance of evidence at the standard level. Specifically, more than 50% of the elements of each standard must be met at the acceptable or target level. o Element 1a must be met at the acceptable or target level in order to satisfy the preponderance of evidence for Standard 1.

Standard 6: Professional Knowledge and Skills Standard 6: Effective elementary mathematics specialists are lifelong learners and recognize that learning is often collaborative. They participate in and plan mathematics-focused professional development experiences at the school and/or district level, draw upon mathematics education research to inform their practice and the practice of colleagues, continuously reflect on their practice, use and assist teachers in using resources from professional mathematics organizations, and demonstrate mathematics-focused instructional leadership. Program evidence of candidates’ attainment of Standard 6: - Assessments, rubrics, and data charts are aligned with standard elements. - Alignment to standard element(s) is provided within assessment rubrics per criterion. - Data charts are aligned with assessment rubric and report candidate performance by the level (individually scored items) at which it is collected. - Assessment rubrics contain discernible levels of performance. - Assessments are required of all candidates.

Decision Criteria: Attainment of Standard 6 is based on two considerations: - At least two assessments based on course products or clinical practice artifacts such as clinical practice evaluation or professional development portfolio and accompanied by candidate performance data from a minimum of two applications for an initial report or a minimum of one application for a response to conditions or revised report - A preponderance of evidence drawn from the elements o SASB policy defines preponderance of evidence as “an overall confirmation that candidates meet standards in the strength, weight, or quality of evidence,” rather than satisfactory performance for each element. A commonly accepted definition of preponderance of evidence is a requirement that more than 50% of the evidence favors a given outcome. NCTM program review decisions are based on the preponderance of evidence at the standard level using this definition. Specifically, more than 50% of the elements of each standard must be met at the acceptable or target level. o Elements 6c and 6d and at least 1 additional element must be met at the acceptable or target level in order to satisfy the preponderance of evidence for Standard 6.

A commonly accepted definition of preponderance of evidence is a requirement that more than 50% of the evidence favors a given outcome. NCTM program review decisions are based on the preponderance of evidence at the standard level using this definition. Specifically, more than 50% of the elements of each standard must be met at the acceptable or target level. o Elements 7a and 7b must be met at the acceptable or target level in order to satisfy the preponderance of evidence for Standard 7.
