Quality Plan?
- A Webinar

2CTQ Working at the Intersection of NCLB and
IDEATeacher Quality An Instrumental
Strategyin Achieving Student OUTCOMES
- The Logic
- If
- Teachers
- are well-prepared to deliver subject matter
content - have been prepared to understand and use
evidence-based approaches - Then
- We will be more likely to meet the national goals
for the achievement - of all students set for 2014.
3CTQ Working at the Intersection of NCLB and
IDEATeacher Quality The Dual Role as an
Indicator
- Final outcome indicator for workforce targets
- All teachers highly qualified by the end of the
2006-2007 school year. - Interim outcome indicator or achievement targets
- HQ status will enable us to understand the
trajectory moving toward 2014. - HQ status will enable us to shape the
interventions to change the trajectory if not on
track.
4CTQ Working at the Intersection of NCLB and
IDEA Using the Licensure System as a
Leverage Point for Change
- The Licensure System
- Standards
- Program approval
- Licensure
- Ongoing professional development
- Adjustments to pieces of the Licensure System
can assist states in - changing the preparation of general education
teachers - changing the preparation of special education
teachers - crafting a a fit between special and general
education preparation to enable all teachers to
serve all students - supporting the collaboration of special and
general education to increase achievement - responding to the changes in special education
service delivery brought about by the HQ
provisions
5CTQ Working at the Intersection of NCLB and
IDEAHow Could the Work of the CTQ Team Add
Value for the HQT Plan?
- Requirements in the HQT Plan
- Analysis of Core Subjects not taught by HQ
teachers - Information HQT status in each LEA and the steps
to assist teachers in attaining HTQ status - Information on technical assistance, programs and
services to assist the LEA in completing their
HQT plans - Decisions on how the SEA will work with LEAs that
fail to reach the 100 goal by the end of 2006-07
school year - Explanation of the HOUSSE process and how the
state will limit the use of HOUSSE - The written equity plan for ensuring that poor
and minority children are not taught by
inexperienced, unqualified or out of field
teachers at higher rates than other children. - Could your CTQ work inform the reporting on these
requirements?
6 Cross-walk of Your CTQ Work to the State HQT
Plan Requirements
- In CTQ work, components of the Licensure System
are leverage points - States are using the Licensure System to leverage
change in varied ways that have utility in their
context - States choose different pieces of the Licensure
System to work on based on their own theories of
change and variables in the state at the time. - Theories of change, strategies and progress to
date should be captured in the State HQT Plan - CTQ enables states to learn from and with other
states - Sharing the theories of change may help other
states craft clear narratives for their HQT Plan - Sharing insight on how to use the Licensure
System to promote change may be useful to states
facing similar challenges. - CTQ Tools help identify the value added through
CTQ work and ways to communicate the value.
7CTQ Working at the Intersection of NCLB and
IDEAThe CTQ Tool for Determining Value
Added in the State HQT Planning Process
- Use onsite by the state team at the CTQ Forum
- Use within the state team to build consensus on
messages to be communicated to leaders - Use to structure interaction with stakeholders
and do perception checks on strategy and impact - Other.
8CTQ Strategies That Could Support State Plan
Work and Follow-up
- Use the conference calls and webinars to share
effective strategies - Feature states that have received commendations
on sections of their plan - Feature states that have created manageable data
systems to document their progress on HQT goals - Other
- Use the www.sharedwork.org site to post examples
of state strategies - Use the Annual Forum to feature state exemplars
- Other, as identified by the state teams
