Director of Teacher Education Report
A. Faculty Development Plans for 2012-2013 – Due October 15
B. HATS off 2012-2013 – This can count as your 10 hours of service. If you are
interested in supervising a student, let Courtney know.
C. OCTP Leadership – Beginning in 2014 OCTP will be part of the Office of
Accountability, and the office will be renamed. This is meant as a costsaving measure. Parts of the OCTP budget (literacy and professional
development) have already been moved to the State Department. The
Commission has recently lost three people and has not replaced them and
is currently operating without a Director of Testing or Director of Program
Accreditation. The Interim Chair is Renee Launey-Rodolf.
D. RSU Social Studies Education update –Information has been presented to
administrators from RSU and Cameron. Once it is approved, we will be
able to enroll students.
Last month’s meeting minutes were approved.
