From Alex: The Professional Educator Preparation and Standards Commission (PEPSC) met yesterday and discussed plans for four working groups to continue progress on the teacher licensure and pay reform pilot being considered by the State Board of Education. The four groups will cover advanced teaching and leader roles, student impact measures, new entry points to teaching, and new professional learning tools and structures. The groups are slated to begin meeting this month and through next month before PEPSC has to come to the State Board of Education in March with recommendations for implementing a pilot.
