RECOMMENDATION: |
The Executive Director recommends adoption of the
following resolution: RESOLVED that, the Commission supports the HB 3619
report to the Legislature and endorses the concepts presented aimed at
developing a seamless system of professional development that begins with
career preparation and continues through employment as an education
professional. |
|
|
INFORMATION: |
Representative Betty Komp promoted HB 3619 to focus
attention on the need to support higher education educator preparation
programs. The Taskforce on Education
Career Preparation and Development was created by appointment by the state
Superintendent of Public Instruction; the Chancellor, and the Executive Director
of TSPC. |
|
The task force was chaired by
Dean Randy Hitz from Portland State University and staffed by the Chalkboard
Project.
Attached is a very short
executive summary which succinctly outlines the goals of the task force and the
basis upon which the recommendations were made.
Representative Komp is introducing legislation that will assist in
implementing the concepts that do not require a significant amount of state
funding.
Recommendations were made in
the following areas:
Ø Teacher Preparation and Professional Development;
Ø Administrator Preparation and Professional
Development;
Ø Licensure; and
Ø Data Use in Analysis of Teacher Preparation.
The licensure recommendations
focus on the need to fully fund new teacher mentoring; encouraging teachers to
apply for National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification and
the Commission adopting the new InTASC standards. An outline of the standards can be found in
the program approval materials within the Division 17 proposed redesign.
