SUMMARY
Issue for
Decision
Should the Regents amend section 7.1 of the Rules of the Board of Regents and section 52.21(c) and Subparts 80-2, 80-3, and 80-5 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, relating to requirements for certification in the educational leadership service?
Reason(s) for Consideration
Review of
Policy.
Proposed
Handling
The proposed amendment is submitted for action at the June 2006 Regents meeting.
Procedural
History
The proposed amendment was discussed at the February and March 2006 meetings of the Board of Regents. A Notice of Proposed Rule Making concerning the proposed amendment was published in the State Register on April 19, 2006. An Assessment of Public Comment is attached.
Background
Information
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to
strengthen requirements that candidates must meet in order to be
certified as school building leaders, school district leaders, and school
district business leaders for service in
· Require candidates to complete approved programs to be certified in the educational leadership service, and eliminate the transcript evaluation route to certification in the educational leadership service.
- Implement the
- Establish a professional development
requirement for school leaders.
Professional certificate holders who are regularly employed by a school
district or BOCES in
- Change the experience requirement for
building level certificates. For the initial certificate as a school building
leader, the candidate must have three years of experience in classroom
teaching and/or pupil personnel service.
For the professional certificate as a school building leader, the
candidate must have at least three years experience in an educational
leadership position, including at least one-year of experience as a school
building leader and mentoring in prescribed
cases.
- Limit the scope of practice for school
district leaders certified under the new series. Holders of a professional certificate
as a school district leader may not serve as a school building leader or as a
school district business leader unless they are also certified in these
areas.
- Establish alternative requirements for
school district leaders who are exceptionally qualified candidates and
matriculated in an alternative school district leader certification
program. Among other
requirements, these candidates must have a commitment from a school district
or BOCES for district mentored and college supervised employment as a school
district leader under the transitional D certificate.
- Require registered college programs that
lead to the initial certificate for school building leaders and to the
professional certificate for school district leaders to advise applicants in
writing prior to admission of the experience requirement that they must meet
to be certified in
- Establish requirements for a two-year nonrenewable conditional initial certificate for school building leaders who are certified in other states and meet all requirements for the initial certificate except the examination requirement. The candidate will be required to meet the examination requirement to be issued the initial certificate and remain certified after the two-year period.
- Establish requirements for an endorsement process to facilitate the recruitment of experienced school district leaders and school district business leaders holding a valid, appropriate credential in another state.
Recommendation
I recommend that the Board of Regents take the following action:
VOTED: That section 7.1 of the Rules of the Board of Regents be amended; that the titles of Subparts 80-2, 80-3, and 80-5 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education be amended; that the titles of sections 52.21(b)(3)(xvii), 80-3.3, 80-3.4, 80-3.7, 80-5.6, and 80-5.13 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education be amended; that sections 52.21(c)(2)(ii)(b), 52.21(c)(3)(ii)(b), 52.21(c)(3)(vi)(c), 52.21(c)(4)(iii), 52.21(c)(4)(vi), 52.21(c)(4)(vii), 52.21(c)(5)(vi)(c), 80-2.1(a), 80-3.1(a), 80-3.2(c), 80-3.2(d)(2), 80-3.2(e), 80-3.3(a)(1), 80-3.3(a)(2), 80-3.4(a), 80-3.6(b), 80-3.6(d)(2), 80-3.6(h)(3)(v), and 80-5.17 of the Regulations of the Commissioner be amended; that sections 52.21(c)(3)(vii), 52.21(c)(5)(vii), 80-2.4(a)(4), 80-3.10, and 80-5.20 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education be added; that section 80-5.15 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education be repealed and a new section 80-5.15 be added; and that section 52.21(c)(4)(viii) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education be repealed, as submitted, effective July 13, 2006.
Timetable for
Implementation
The effective date of the proposed amendment is July 13, 2006.
However, a transition period for implementing the new certification requirements
is established. The old series requirements will still be applicable to
candidates who apply for provisional certification by September 1, 2006 and
qualify for the certificate by September 1, 2007, except for candidates
who have completed a registered
program leading to that certificate who will have until September 1, 2007 to
apply and qualify for provisional
certification under the old series.
