HB 432 Training of teachers, administrators, and superintendents.
Introduced by: W. W. Bennett, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Training and professional development of teachers, principals, and superintendents. Establishes a number of initiatives supporting professional training and development among public school personnel to implement various recommendations of the Commission on the Future of Public Education (HJR 196 of 1996). This bill amends Standard 5 of the SOQ to require the Board of Education to include, in its training and professional development activities, programs designed to strengthen educators' ability to communicate and work with families, enhance family involvement in student learning at home and in school, and fully integrate theory and application of knowledge into student learning. The Board is also required to develop leadership standards for superintendents and principals. Local school boards must sponsor or conduct leadership training programs consistent with these standards. The Board must advise local school boards regarding the provision of these leadership training programs. The licensure statute is amended to require persons seeking initial licensure on and after July 1, 2002, to have completed study in methods of improving communication between schools and families, ways of increasing family involvement in student learning at home and in school, and the integration of theory and application of knowledge into student learning. On and after July 1, 2002, individuals seeking initial licensure and graduating from Virginia colleges and universities must graduate from nationally accredited programs. This bill also amends the mentor teacher statute to require the Board of Education to establish guidelines for training programs to support the Standards of Learning, including training in English, mathematics, science, technological studies, and history and social sciences to provide support for teachers in public elementary and secondary schools and the development of leadership skills for principals, superintendents, and other administrative personnel. Local school boards are required to implement programs consistent with these guidelines from such funds as may be appropriated for this purpose.
