Greetings Friends ~
As you may or may not be aware, the Council on Educator Development have come up with their recommendations regarding teacher and administrator feedback. They are seeking input from certified staff. I am personally concerned about the counselor voice being heard. As I spoke with Matt Ludwig, he encouraged us to seek feedback from counselors. So I would encourage you to share this message with your fellow counselors.
Iowans who make up the Council on Educator Development have spent the past two years studying teacher and administrator evaluation practices and professional development. This document represents their preliminary recommendations. The council now needs feedback via an online survey on these recommendations from Iowa’s education community. The survey will be open through Nov. 30, 2015.All survey feedback will remain anonymous. The term “teacher” in the recommendations and the survey refers to certified staff and includes school counselors.
Gathering input is critical not only to this process, it is required by law. The council was formed in the fall of 2013 in response to an education reform package adopted by Iowa lawmakers that year. The legislation, House File 215, calls for a period of feedback beginning Oct. 1, 2015. Once the feedback is collected and analyzed, the council will use it to develop a final report in November 2016.
Please read the recommendations and complete your feedback prior to November 30.As you may or may not be aware, the Council on Educator Development have come up with their recommendations regarding teacher and administrator feedback.
