HB 866 Institutes for training teachers.

Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Institutes for training teachers. Removes the limitation that only four sites be established for institutes for training teachers. These institutes may be located at sites that include two-and four-year public institutions of higher education in Virginia. Legislation adopted in 1996 directed the State Council of Higher Education to establish, from such funds as may be appropriated for this purpose, institutes providing technology training for teachers, administrators, and librarians in the elementary and secondary schools and public libraries of the Commonwealth. The initial legislation (HB 1097) capped the institutes at no more than three sites; this number was increased to four in 1999 (HB 2671), and the institutes' mission altered to encompass "in-service training in the effective use of educational technology."
