LICENSURE ISSUES 3.1 Candidates Reviewed for Alternative Assessment Documentation for seven candidates for Alternative Assessment was considered. Resolution adopted as written. Absent / Wood, Greene, Matsumoto, Beck TSPC MINUTES November 3 - 4, 2011 Page 3

3.2 Alternative Assessment The Commission has allowed some form of “alternative assessment” for a number of years. Alternative Assessment is considered for first licensure and to add endorsements. After a lengthy discussion the commission considered three choices,  Dissolve Alternative Assessment,  Maintain it as is, or  Maintain with edits (recommendation letters). The majority of the commission voted to maintain alternative assessment with edits. Licensure Chair suggested convening a committee to review the letters of recommendation and bring revisions back to the commission.

3.3 License of Conditional Assignment The movement of the Conditional Assignment Permit to a more formalized License for Conditional Assignment has received two rule hearings and lengthy Commission discussion for the past several meetings. Following the August meeting, amendments requested by the Commission were added to the rule and resubmitted to hearing on September 15, 2011.

One suggested requirement is at least one-half of the SPED program requirements must be completed to be eligible for the SPED LCA. The LCA fee has been set at $25.

MOTION, to amend the resolution to state some preparation is required for the SPED LCA / Carried In favor / Blanchard, Brown, Dennison, Humphries, Sundell, Wilson, Sass, Sconce Opposed / Madathil, Munck, Watt, Stern Abstain / Beck Absent / Matsumoto, Wood, Greene The Executive Director suggested the new resolution to be voted on in agenda item 7.2: An educator must have either completed at least some coursework for a SPED program in a special education program or have had other significant experience related to SPED before becoming eligible for an LCA in Special Education. 3.4 Late Fee Waivers (New Rules) At the August 2011 hearing, the Commission agreed to consider a rule that would allow educators who are unable to find employment during the life of a license to waive late fees upon reinstatement of their license issued by TSPC.

Resolution adopted as written. Absent / Greene, Matsumoto, Brown, Wood

3.5 Continuing Professional Development This proposal is to repeal the current rules for continuing professional development (CPD), and adopt new rules that are clearer and place the responsibility for obtaining the appropriate CPD with the educator.

After a lengthy discussion regarding CPD requirements for all educators including substitutes, the commission voted to move the Division 90 rules to hearing with the suggested revisions.

Resolution adopted as written. Absent / Greene, Matsumoto, Wood, Stern 3.6 Transitional Administrator License When the commission approved amendments to other transitional licenses, the Transitional Administrator and Transitional Superintendent were overlooked. Attached are proposed amendments to bring these licenses in line with other licenses issued to out-of-state educators.

This proposal amends the timeline from 3 years to 18 months to complete the requirement to move to TSPC MINUTES November 3- 4, 2011 Page 4 an Initial license. Applicants must possess an out-of- state license if they were prepared out-of-state when applying for the Oregon transitional licenses. The license is good for one year. Upon expiration they must qualify for the Initial.

Resolution adopted as written. Absent / Wood, Greene, Matsumoto, Stern

3.7 Licensure Authorization Realignment This agenda item is a continuation of previous discussions regarding current authorizations and changes in the future. The first conversation is to be clear about the names of the license and the grades they can teach and eliminate the reference to buildings. Second is to be clear about what they can teach and what preparation is needed specifically in each area. Commissioners agreed a stakeholder meeting is needed to address the authorization realignment.

The Licensure Chair asked for a MOTION to remove the reference to building designations in rule 584-036-0015, file it as a temporary rule immediately and refer it to hearing for adoption at a future time.

Moved by Sass / Second by Munck. Absent / Wood, Greene, Matsumoto, Stern

3.8 Autism Specialist on Special Education License The Commission committed to work with the Commission on Autism to create a specialization indication on a special education license as it relates to ASD expertise. The educator must hold a Special Education endorsement to be eligible for the Autism Specialist acknowledgment but the intent is not to make this a requirement to work with Autistic children. Once the standards are established and there are guidelines for knowing when a specialization has been “achieved,” staff will be able to begin indicating ASD specialization on any teaching license with a special education endorsement.

3.9 Restricted Transitional and Emergency School Social Worker Licenses The newly approved School Social Worker License programs are moving forward. This agenda item proposes to create the Restricted Transitional School Social Worker and Emergency School Social Worker licenses as a pathway to licensure for candidates who are enrolled in a school social worker program but have not yet completed their program.

PROGRAM APPROVAL 4.1 NES General Test Adoption The Commission dropped the ETS Praxis General Science examination 0435 effective September 1, 2011. This examination was titled Integrated Science by Oregon to align with the name of the science endorsement that coincides with the test. The Commission agreed to adopt the NES General Science computer-based test as a replacement examination.

On August 9, 2011, Evaluation Systems conducted a score setting panel with licensed Oregon educators and the recommended passing score was 220. The national score setting panel also recommended a passing score of 220 for the examination.

Heather Klesch from Evaluation Systems Group of Pearson was available by Skype during the meeting to answer any questions the commissioners had.

4.2 University of Portland Program Review Reports The draft of the proposed amendments to Division 010 recommends the establishment of a State Program Review process. The University of Portland volunteered to be one of two institutions to pilot the program review process prior to rule adoption. This pilot process is an important part of the proposed accreditation process for the Oregon institutions seeking state and national accreditation through NCATE and later CAEP.

The University of Portland submitted program review reports for: Early Childhood/Elementary, Middle Level, High School, ESOL, Reading, Special Education, and Administrator.

Resolution adopted as written. Absent / Greene, Wood, Matsumoto, Stern

Keith Menk, Director of Teacher Education, compiled these manuals relying primarily on the existing information used by NCATE. When the new accrediting body Council for the Accreditation of Educator Programs (CAEP) is fully formed and operating, TSPC can adapt the manuals to align with the new standards and procedures. Resolution adopted as written. Absent / Wood, Matsumoto, Greene, Stern 4.7 Report on Teacher Performance Assessment Consortium Opportunity TSPC has agreed to participate in the field testing of the Teacher Performance Assessment. Dr. Ray Pecheone, Stanford University, indicated that Oregon would sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that indicates that the state is committed to the “work.” The “work” means the state and volunteer institutions of higher education (IHEs) would participate in the pilot/field test. Institutions that volunteered at this time for the field testing are University of Portland, Concordia, Multnomah, University of Oregon and Portland State is training some individuals to be scorers of the assessments. 4.8 School Counselor Standards for Initial and Continuing School Counselor License A committee of stakeholders reviewed the current school counselor standards for the Initial and Continuing licensure based on feedback they received from district representatives and mentor school counselors. The proposed amendments have been reviewed and incorporated in addition to other changes that are consistent with the format for our other licensure standards. Nearly 100% of the suggested changes have been incorporated into the previous rules. The Commission agreed to move the new proposed School Counselor Standards, 584-018-0305 and 584-018-0310, to administrative rule hearing. Resolution adopted as written.
