Education Reform in Wisconsin
Another focus for 2012 is the education reform package brought forth by Governor Walker. The Governor has worked with Superintendent Evers and legislators to improve education in Wisconsin. There is great value in the reforms that are being discussed such as in early screening of students and rigorous testing for our teachers. The three task forces explained below will be key in reestablishing Wisconsin as a leader in education.
Read to Lead is an idea to improve Wisconsin's reading achievements in our schools. It will require the state Department of Public Instruction to improve the rigor of the licensure exam for new elementary school reading teachers and coaches by 2013-14.
School accountability will ensure that all parents have an easy to understand transparent grading system they can use to hold their neighborhood schools accountable.
Educator Effectiveness is comprised of a task force that will create a framework for evaluating teachers and principals based on more than just a standardized test. It will be used to ensure that teachers who take on difficult assignments get the support they need.
