- Summary:
-
A convening process was used to study the feasibility of a career ladder program for public school teachers in the District of Columbia. Eight educators from outside the system met on July 13-15, 1987, to analyze problems in the current system concerning: (1) the need to compete for quality teachers; (2) making career opportunities available; (3) the teacher evaluation process; and (4) the professional development program. A comprehensive career ladder program was recommended, which should be: (1) related to student achievement; (2) involve a cross-section of professionals; (3) be tied to district-wide and school instructional improvement goals; (4) be tied to professional performance; (5) built on a valid, reliable, and equitable personnel evaluation system; (6) develop a process for making career advancement decisions; (7) monitor the advancement decision process at the district level; and (8) integrate staff development with personnel evaluation. The goals of the program are to build upon and support student performance goals by improving instruction and providing incentives to teachers to remain in the profession and build their effectiveness. The program should contain a strong beginning teacher support system; serve the developmental needs of experienced teachers; and enhance professional aspects of teaching in the District of Columbia Public Schools. Appendix A describes the convening process. The agenda and a list of the participants of the convening event, and interview questions are appended. (SLD)
