CT News Junkie | Lawmakers Revise Malloy’s Education Proposal

CT News Junkie | Lawmakers Revise Malloy’s Education Proposal: "The revised bill asks the state Board of Education to consult with the Performance Evaluation Advisory Committee to adopt guidelines for a model evaluation system and to make the claims of failure of the system subject to contract grievances with the unions.

The revised bill also requires the University of Connecticut’s NEAG School of Education to study the implementation of teacher and administrator evaluations and support programs adopted by local and regional school boards.

It also reduces the three-level certification structure to two: initial and professional certificates. And it establishes a new “distinguished educator designation,” for highly qualified and experienced teachers.

Like the New Haven school reform model, the bill authorizes local and regional school boards to negotiate new salary schedules to align compensation for teachers under the initial and professional certificates, and allows for additional compensation to be negotiated by teachers holding the distinguished educator designation."
