[lbo-talk] NCLB bites the University?

[Carrol Cox]

The following was distributed on the English Department e-list today. I
haven't explored it further or checked the website referred to, but it
seems as though Universities may be asked to prepare teachers to conform
to the No Child Left Behind. It may be of interest to college teachers
on the list.

Proposed amendments to Part 24 addressing the change in Standards for
all Illinois Teachers to go into effect in 2012 are open for public
comment at this time. When these rules go into effect, each teacher
preparation program will be required to show how they will prepare
teacher education candidates to meet every standard and all indicators. 
It was stated at the last Certification Board Meeting, that this means
more than just a matrix.  Syllabi, assessments, etc. will be needed to
support the matrix. 

Since this will greatly impact our work, you may wish to read the
proposed standards and make a comment. 

A link to the proposed rules for public comments may be found at the
following website:
