legislation No Child Left Behind professional development funding highly qualified teacher ... current news K-8 Instructional Materials Adoption State board adopts revised materials criteria, declines to limit hands-on materials no more than After a prolonged public comment period, the state board rejected this criterion and accepted compromise language, hammered out days earlier in a meeting between state board staff and CSTA executive director Christine Bertrand , K-12 teachers, CSU faculty, CSU deans, California School Boards Association, and California Teachers Association, which reversed the restriction. Rather than mandating the 20 to 25 percent restriction as a maximum, the new language requires publishers to submit materials that demonstrate that the standards can be taught with hands-on activities composing at least 20 to 25 percent of the instructional program. The board heard from 28 individuals representing businesses, scientists, university deans, teachers, administrators, local school boards, and parents, all urging adoption of the revised criteria.
