To all,
It has been exciting to have NYSCEA (NYS Council of Educational Associations of which AMTNYS) as a member of the Teaching Standards committee.
This will be the time for you to make comment on its preliminary draft. The committee will then review the comments, meet again and edit/add/delete based upon those comments. The draft document will then go to the Board of Regents.
On July 16, 2010 Joseph Frey, Deputy Commissioner of the Office of Higher Education, sent a memo which included some of the following information. That invitation in full can be found at http://www.highered.nysed.gov/memos/memo07162010.html titled -Invitation to Comment on the New York State Preliminary Draft of Teaching Standards.
Some parts of the memo are:
The Teaching Standards ?will be the basis for teacher preparation programs, assessments for certification, annual professional performance reviews, and professional/career development plans for New York teachers.?
The Office of Teaching Initiatives has posted the Preliminary Draft of New York State Teaching Standards and a Web Response Form<http://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/resteachers/sbsurveyjul2010.html>with which you may submit your suggestions on web site. If you are unable to access the draft online, please contact Jenese Gaston at jgaston@mail.nysed.gov.
The deadline to summit comments will be August 16, 2010. Written comments may be mailed to:
Patricia Oleaga NYSED Office of Teaching Initiatives Room 5N, Education Building 89 Washington Avenue Albany, New York 12234 * In particular, please review Standard VII - Professional Growth. There are 5 elements that support "Teachers set informed goals and strive for continuous personal and professional growth." One of which Element VII.3 Teachers participate with professional organizations and institutions to improve teaching and learning is a remarkable to have gotten in the document.
* *Please remember the deadline to comment is August 16, 2010. The invitation to comment on the preliminary draft of NYS Teaching Standards has been posted http://www.highered.nysed.gov/memos/memo07162010.html*
