Introduced by: James H. Dillard II | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Effective instructional programs and practices. Establishes within the Department of Education, from such funds as may be appropriated, a unit to conduct evaluative studies and provide resources and technical assistance to increase the capacity of school divisions to deliver quality instruction. This unit must identify and analyze effective instructional programs and practices and professional development initiatives; evaluate the success of programs encouraging parental and family involvement; assess changes in student outcomes prompted by family involvement; and collect and disseminate among school divisions information regarding effective instructional programs and practices, initiatives promoting family and community involvement, and potential funding and support sources. The unit may also provide resources supporting professional development for administrators and teachers. The unit is to give priority to those school divisions demonstrating a less than 70 percent passing rate on the literacy tests and the Standards of Learning end-of-course assessment tests. This measure is a recommendation of the HJR 196 Commission on the Future of Public Education.
