Back to Home Contact Us Community Action Community Leadership ... Contact Us Articles Iowa Association of School Boards A Promise Fulfilled: Our Vision for Public Education Realizing the promise of public education means envisioning and working toward a public education system in which: All students are graduating from school prepared to make a living, a life, and a difference. All children are learning challenging content. Education is personally rewarding and challenging for all involved. Parents are actively involved in their child's education. Teachers and and administrators have the knowledge and skills they need to help all children succeed. Board/superintendent teams in every district are community leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to ensure success for all the students. All schools have access to the financial and technical resources they need. Iowa citizens understand and support their public schools. Ron Rice firmly believes that Iowa schools are not delivering on the promise of education-that every student, regardless of race, family income, or any other factor, will gain the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. His first step was to involve the entire top management team in the TLP. "I knew if we went through it together, the staff would find their individual passions within our common vision, and then we could build an overall strategic plan."

Overview Calendar Programs Directory Documents Reports, Data ... Education Community Colleges Overview Iowa has a statewide system of 15 community colleges. These public, postsecondary, two-year institutions are organized as comprehensive community colleges. Each college serves a multi-county merged area which may vary in size from four to twelve counties; all of Iowa's 99 counties are included in one of these merged areas. Community colleges are governed by locally elected boards of directors that consist of from five to nine members who are elected for terms of three years. Each community college offers a comprehensive educational program. All Iowans of postsecondary school age are eligible to attend any of the community colleges. Community colleges also offer special programs for students who attend local secondary schools. Community colleges have an "open-door" admission policy which guarantees Iowans an opportunity for educational assistance and career development regardless of previous educational attainment. To implement this policy, community colleges offer: assistance in developing skills necessary for success in preparatory career and college parallel programs; supplementary services to disabled and disadvantaged students; and a variety of other support services designed to help students succeed.

52. Standards: Iowa's Approach Standards iowa s Approach. By Corine Hadley President, iowa State Boardsof education, and Ted Stilwell Director, iowa Department of education. http://www.nasbe.org/Educational_Issues/Policy_Updates/4_2p.html

id=10872 Commentaries NASBE Policy Update , Vol. 4, No. 2 March 1998 In 1998, Iowa remains the one state in the nation that is not developing -or even planning to develop - statewide content standards. In this month's Commentary , State Board President Corine Hadley and Director of Education Ted Stilwell explain their state's singular approach. NASBE welcomes responses as well as new Commentaries . Please send all correspondence to NASBE headquarters in care of David Kysilko, Director of Publications. Standards: Iowa's Approach By Corine Hadley President, Iowa State Boards of Education, and Ted Stilwell Director, Iowa Department of Education Iowa is unique in the country in setting standards for student achievement at the local, rather than state, level. Iowa's State Board of Education and Department of Education have decided not to establish state standards and tests even while acknowledging that current levels of achievement in Iowa schools are inadequate for the demands of the 21st century. This policy position has been carefully considered and reconsidered. If higher levels of achievement are important, then why doesn't Iowa mandate higher performance levels and establish a testing system to ensure that school districts are doing the job? The answer is that to do so would work against Iowa's strongest educational asset - community ownership for the education of the state's young people. This is the single factor that explains Iowa's strong tradition of high academic achievement. Communities in Iowa have historically set higher expectations than those that would have been established at the state level.

One Iowa teacher Joel Franken, a National Board certified retired art teacher from Denison, serves on the NBPTS Board of Directors. The Board was created in 1987 to develop standards and assessment programs for teachers.

Nearly 23,930 teachers across the nation have completed this rigorous process. Requirements Successful candidates must develop a portfolio that includes documentation of teaching practice and student work, a videotape of classroom interactions with students and a written detailed analysis of teaching reflected in the videotape and student work. Candidates have reported spending over 200 hours developing their portfolios. Candidates must also complete a full day of assessment exercises related to subject matter content. The assessment day typically consists of four 90-minute tests. Any licensed teacher with at least three years of experience is eligible to apply for National Board Certification.

Many still keep in touch with her, and two told Education World how much they had enjoyed her class. The Des Moines Board of Education recently honored Straub. Drucilla Straub's teaching career spans the era of the Cleavers to the Simpson family. Although much has changed since she first started teaching kindergarten in Des Moines, Iowa, 56 years ago, Straub, 75, said that today's five- and six-year-olds have many of the same concerns youngsters did half a century ago. "Children are basically the same, then and now," Straub told Education World. "They worry about who will pick them up and whether that person will be on time. There are still some who cry when their mothers leave. They want to be noticed; They want to feel secure and loved. That's what they wanted in 1945, and that's what they want now."
