Latest NewsOctober 25, 2011Clarkstown Board of Education Hires Special Education Evaluation ConsultantThe CCSD Board of Education approved the hiring of Dr. Ann Monroe Baillargeon to conduct a Special Education Program Evaluation. The needs and Purpose Statement for the evaluation is below:Need and Purpose Statement Project Overview: This proposed project involves a review of the continuum of K-12 special education services provided by the Clarkstown CSD, with educational presentations on “best practices” in serving students with special needs to district stakeholders. It is important to note that the special educational services cannot be studied and evaluated in isolation of the context in which they operate, and the services they provide; therefore both quantitative and qualitative research methods will be used to study not only the special education services of the Clarkstown CSD, but also the people it manages and the students it serves. This study will be completed in the context of Federal and State laws and regulations including: IDEA, 2004; New York State Part 200and VESID: Quality Indicators for Special Education Instructional Practices.More information can be found by clicking here.Ruling on teacher evaluations a win for educationALBANY, N.Y. August 24, 2011 — New York State United Teachers said today a state Supreme Court ruling on teacher-principal evaluations is a significant win for the state’s public education system. “This decision upholds the role of practitioners and the value of collective bargaining,” said NYSUT President Richard C. Iannuzzi. “We are pleased the judge has upheld the statute as NYSUT interprets it. Today’s ruling is good for students and for teachers.”
NYSUT, Iannuzzi said, remains committed to a fair, objective and transparent teacher-principal evaluation process that uses multiple measures — a process upheld by the courts. Iannuzzi added the union is hopeful the state Education Department will be at the table in collaboration with NYSUT in order to proceed in the context under which the statute is written. |
