Introduced by: Jerrauld C. Jones | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Virginia Teachers and School Administrators of Tomorrow Recruitment and Retention Program. Creates the Virginia Teachers and School Administrators of Tomorrow Recruitment and Retention Program for the purpose of addressing the problem of teacher and school administrator supply and demand in the public schools of the Commonwealth, and ensuring a diverse and well-qualified teaching and administrative force, consisting of licensed teachers and school administrators. The Program consists of the following components: (i) the Teacher Cadet Academy to provide internships for academically able students who possess the personal qualities and leadership skills for success in teaching, and who demonstrate an interest in children, to consider careers in teaching; (ii) incentives to attract new teachers and retain experienced teachers and school administrators, particularly in urban and rural school divisions experiencing difficulty in attracting and retaining teachers and administrators; (iii) a database containing the announcements of open positions for teachers and administrators throughout the Commonwealth; (iv) strategies to increase the supply of minority teachers and school administrators; (v) linkages between public schools, institutions of higher education, and business and industry to provide mentorships and business-school exchange programs; and (vi) the use of the statewide teacher and administrator survey data to identify critical administrator and teacher shortages, and the disciplines and geographical regions of the Commonwealth in which they occur so that recruitment efforts can be effectively targeted.
This bill is a recommendation of the Commission on Access and Diversity in Higher Education.
