This brochure gives a brief overview of Wyoming Governor Jim Geringer's focus as 1999-2000 Education Commission of the States (ECS) Chairman. Section 1 discusses a focus on quality, explaining that students learn more from well-prepared, quality teachers and that the challenge is how to equip every teacher with the necessary abilities and tools. Section 2 examines lessons learned from the past several decades about ways to increase teacher quality. Section 3 focuses on what must happen next in public education, noting the importance of such things as implementing performance-based assessment systems for students and teachers; emphasizing classroom performance in university-based teacher education programs; encouraging effective alternative teacher certification and preparation strategies; and restructuring schools to become learning organizations. Section 4 discusses the work that lies ahead for the ECS, including identifying key issues; clarifying and cataloguing new and promising policy options; and encouraging and helping state leaders in their quest to develop effective policy structures. Section 5 explains how states can participate. Section 6 presents a schedule of events during 1999-2000 for the ECS. Section 7 offers 16 World Wide Web resources. (SM)
