00:00:00.297 --> 00:00:01.130

00:00:01.130 --> 00:00:02.343
Good morning everyone.
00:00:03.690 --> 00:00:06.140
We are now getting ready for the State Board
00:00:06.140 --> 00:00:10.500
for Educator Certification Meeting of February 12th, 2021.
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:12.570
And someone is running the slide deck.
00:00:12.570 --> 00:00:15.443
I'm sure they're going to move it along.
00:00:19.550 --> 00:00:23.070
We do have a quorum and I'll call this meeting to order.
00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:24.920
We'll begin with a moment of silence.
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.890
If you will please join all of us for a moment
00:00:28.890 --> 00:00:30.440
of silence so we can settle in
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.700
and think about the important work ahead of us
00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:33.860
and keep those people
00:00:33.860 --> 00:00:38.060
that are suffering throughout our state with COVID
00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:40.160
and the pandemic in mind.
00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:42.160
So let's start with a moment of silence.
00:00:57.010 --> 00:00:58.600
Okay, thank you.
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.530
We'll move on to the pledge of allegiance.
00:01:01.530 --> 00:01:03.140
And if you will stand there where you are
00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:04.783
we'll recite the pledge.
00:01:08.697 --> 00:01:10.840
"I pledge allegiance to the flag
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.530
of the United States of America
00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:14.930
and to the Republic for which it stands
00:01:14.930 --> 00:01:16.290
one nation under God
00:01:16.290 --> 00:01:19.087
indivisible with Liberty and justice for all."
00:01:24.940 --> 00:01:27.550
All right, so I wanna welcome everyone.
00:01:27.550 --> 00:01:29.430
And I'm going to bore you
00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:32.760
with virtual meeting guidelines again.
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.830
This meeting is being livestream.
00:01:34.830 --> 00:01:37.720
Board members should have their cameras on at all times
00:01:37.720 --> 00:01:40.420
even when taking an unscheduled break.
00:01:40.420 --> 00:01:41.680
The only time the Board may turn
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:42.670
off their cameras is
00:01:42.670 --> 00:01:44.733
during scheduled breaks such as lunch.
00:01:46.290 --> 00:01:47.123
Oops.
00:01:48.330 --> 00:01:49.163
Ready? Okay.
00:01:51.550 --> 00:01:53.470
Mute when not speaking.
00:01:53.470 --> 00:01:55.620
Do not email during the meeting.
00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:57.880
Do not send private chats.
00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:01.710
Speaking limits will still apply for testimony.
00:02:01.710 --> 00:02:03.750
Raise your hand and wait to be recognized
00:02:03.750 --> 00:02:05.830
if you want to speak.
00:02:05.830 --> 00:02:07.550
Wait until a previous speaker
00:02:07.550 --> 00:02:09.770
finishes completely before speaking
00:02:09.770 --> 00:02:14.090
so audio will pick up completely.
00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:17.150
Again your feedback forms were emailed this morning
00:02:17.150 --> 00:02:19.720
or yesterday please email to Christie
00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:21.683
when we complete the meeting.
00:02:24.850 --> 00:02:26.090
As all of you know
00:02:26.090 --> 00:02:29.040
Ryan has moved on to another job
00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:31.010
and we wish him the very best,
00:02:31.010 --> 00:02:34.160
but the very capable Marylin Cook
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:35.870
is Interim Associate Commissioner
00:02:35.870 --> 00:02:38.410
and she will be providing our comments
00:02:38.410 --> 00:02:39.893
for this morning, Marilyn.
00:02:41.570 --> 00:02:43.440
Good morning, chairman Cavazos and members.
00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:47.490
Thank you so much
as Dr. Cavazos said,
00:02:47.490 --> 00:02:49.870
we certainly wish Mr. Franklin well,
00:02:49.870 --> 00:02:51.410
and thank him for his many years
00:02:51.410 --> 00:02:53.230
of dedicated service to this Board,
00:02:53.230 --> 00:02:55.146
the agency and beyond.
00:02:55.146 --> 00:02:56.730
I would just like to say
00:02:56.730 --> 00:02:59.690
it's great to see all of you again.
00:02:59.690 --> 00:03:01.080
I regret that we're still virtual,
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.280
but happy we're still safe.
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.540
It is a very balmy 28 degrees here in Austin.
00:03:06.540 --> 00:03:07.650
Like Mr. Rodriguez said,
00:03:07.650 --> 00:03:10.300
if you step out, it's colder than that.
00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:11.780
But our hearts are still warm
00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:13.410
and our hearts are still filled
00:03:13.410 --> 00:03:16.500
with being focused on doing good in the world
00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:18.260
and focused on education.
00:03:18.260 --> 00:03:19.360
I wanna take a few minutes
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.210
to also thank all of the members of the ASPEC team
00:03:23.210 --> 00:03:24.170
who worked tirelessly
00:03:24.170 --> 00:03:26.700
each time to put agenda items together
00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:29.105
do lots of tireless work behind the scenes.
00:03:29.105 --> 00:03:31.180
We're pleased and privileged to be here
00:03:31.180 --> 00:03:33.000
to continue your work today.
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:34.880
And with that said,
I'd yield the floor
00:03:34.880 --> 00:03:37.970
so we can get onto the business of the Board today.
00:03:37.970 --> 00:03:39.092
Thank you so much.
00:03:39.092 --> 00:03:40.350
Thank you, Marilyn Cook.
00:03:40.350 --> 00:03:43.663
We appreciate all your
work and the teams work.
00:03:44.540 --> 00:03:45.920
Moving on to the next item.
00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:46.860
Public Comments.
00:03:46.860 --> 00:03:49.210
Katie, Allen, do we have Public Comments?
00:03:49.210 --> 00:03:50.920
No, sir we do not.
00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:52.290
Thank you.
00:03:52.290 --> 00:03:53.940
Moving on to item number four,
00:03:53.940 --> 00:03:57.693
December 11th, 2020 minutes.
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:04.713
Do I have a motion for approval?
00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:07.227
Mr. Chairman I move
00:04:07.227 --> 00:04:09.950
that we approve the minutes for December.
00:04:09.950 --> 00:04:10.970
Thank you Dr. Kelly.
00:04:10.970 --> 00:04:12.830
I saw Courtney raised her hand.
00:04:12.830 --> 00:04:14.793
So Courtney, are you seconding that?
00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:18.290
Yes, she's seconding that.
00:04:18.290 --> 00:04:20.243
Are there any questions or corrections?
00:04:22.200 --> 00:04:24.370
Seeing none all those in favor.
00:04:24.370 --> 00:04:26.090
Raise your right hand and hold it
00:04:26.090 --> 00:04:28.983
up so that the votes may be recorded.
00:04:32.890 --> 00:04:33.723
Thank you.
00:04:33.723 --> 00:04:36.023
All those opposed do the same, no opposition.
00:04:36.023 --> 00:04:40.480
The motion carries moving on to item number five
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:44.403
chapter 230 A adoption Jessica McLoughlin.
00:04:46.230 --> 00:04:48.310
Thank you, Dr. Cavazos and good morning Board.
00:04:48.310 --> 00:04:49.143
It's great to be
00:04:49.143 --> 00:04:51.930
with you on this Chilly virtual morning.
00:04:51.930 --> 00:04:54.420
Item five is your item to consider
00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:56.810
and take action to approve the adoption
00:04:56.810 --> 00:04:57.860
of proposed amendments
00:04:57.860 --> 00:05:01.530
to 19 TAC Chapter 230 sub chapter A.
00:05:01.530 --> 00:05:03.970
And this item begins on page 34
00:05:03.970 --> 00:05:05.830
of the PDF Board book.
00:05:05.830 --> 00:05:08.650
On Board is a reminder, chapter 230 are your rules
00:05:08.650 --> 00:05:10.700
that govern educator preparation
00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:12.740
and certification requirements
00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:15.530
with sub chapter A containing the definitions
00:05:15.530 --> 00:05:17.083
and the purpose of the chapter.
00:05:18.310 --> 00:05:20.190
So specifically this item provides you
00:05:20.190 --> 00:05:23.260
with the opportunity to adopt the proposed amendment
00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:27.430
to 230.1(17) which would update the definition
00:05:27.430 --> 00:05:29.760
of a pilot exam to indicate
00:05:29.760 --> 00:05:32.850
that the edTPA performance assessment pilot
00:05:32.850 --> 00:05:35.070
will be subject to review by the SBEC
00:05:35.070 --> 00:05:38.230
prior to September one, 2022
00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:42.440
rather than the original date of September one, 2021.
00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:44.380
And again, the intent of the proposed update
00:05:44.380 --> 00:05:47.150
to the pilot review date is to provide programs
00:05:47.150 --> 00:05:51.220
and candidates engaged in the edTPA pilot flexibility
00:05:51.220 --> 00:05:53.380
and a longer runway specifically due
00:05:53.380 --> 00:05:55.920
to the impact of COVID-19.
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.920
At the October, 2020 meeting
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.480
you signaled the approval of the extension
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.890
of the pilot approving TEA staff to bring forward
00:06:03.890 --> 00:06:05.560
proposed pilot extension language
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:06.800
at the December meeting.
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:08.120
And at the December meeting
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.400
you took action to propose the amendment.
00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:12.460
The specific amended rule text is
00:06:12.460 --> 00:06:16.803
on page 43 or specifically page eight of the item.
00:06:17.922 --> 00:06:19.872
If we can transition to the next slide.
00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:23.450
With the adoption of this proposed amendment
00:06:23.450 --> 00:06:25.160
to extend your review date
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.430
of the edTPA pilot to September one, 2022.
00:06:28.430 --> 00:06:31.320
TEA staff will continue to gather data
00:06:31.320 --> 00:06:34.430
on Texas implementation of the edTPA pilot,
00:06:34.430 --> 00:06:35.896
support preparation programs
00:06:35.896 --> 00:06:38.030
and candidates who are participating
00:06:38.030 --> 00:06:41.270
in the pilot into a third year of a pilot.
00:06:41.270 --> 00:06:44.366
Provided the aspect with continued updates at your meetings.
00:06:44.366 --> 00:06:47.810
Work with Sam Houston State University on their study
00:06:47.810 --> 00:06:50.020
provide updates on the outcome of the second year
00:06:50.020 --> 00:06:52.410
of the pilot in the fall of 2021.
00:06:52.410 --> 00:06:55.310
And as indicated on the slide provide a full analysis
00:06:55.310 --> 00:06:58.913
of all three years of implementation in the fall of 2022.
00:07:01.550 --> 00:07:03.880
This item went out for public comment
00:07:03.880 --> 00:07:06.520
and we did receive five public comments.
00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:08.120
Three of them were outside the scope
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.930
of your current rule making.
00:07:09.930 --> 00:07:12.400
One was in favor of the date extension.
00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:15.350
And one was neither in support nor against
00:07:15.350 --> 00:07:16.650
but recommended the extension
00:07:16.650 --> 00:07:19.200
of the pilot to September, 2023.
00:07:19.200 --> 00:07:21.300
And as a note, two of those comments
00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:22.750
that were outside the scope
00:07:22.750 --> 00:07:26.130
of current rulemaking were individuals seeking a waiver
00:07:26.130 --> 00:07:27.710
or extension of the science
00:07:27.710 --> 00:07:30.002
of teaching reading exam requirement.
00:07:30.002 --> 00:07:30.835
And just wanted to share
00:07:30.835 --> 00:07:31.960
that we plan to provide additional
00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:33.900
updates on the implementation
00:07:33.900 --> 00:07:36.283
of the STR exam requirement in item 15.
00:07:41.509 --> 00:07:43.738
ADA is there any public testimony?
00:07:43.738 --> 00:07:45.043
No sir there is none.
00:07:46.670 --> 00:07:49.163
SBEC members do you have any questions?
00:07:51.410 --> 00:07:54.690
This is simply clarifying what we discussed
00:07:54.690 --> 00:07:56.180
at our last meeting.
00:07:56.180 --> 00:07:57.430
All right.
00:07:57.430 --> 00:07:58.950
So do we have a motion?
00:07:58.950 --> 00:08:00.540
The motion is on your slide deck.
00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:02.993
Do I have someone wanting to make the motion?
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.373
Rohanna Sykes please.
00:08:08.990 --> 00:08:10.440
I move that the Board approve
00:08:10.440 --> 00:08:12.700
for adoption subject to the State Board
00:08:12.700 --> 00:08:15.250
of education review the proposed amendment
00:08:15.250 --> 00:08:18.570
to 19 TAC 230 Professional Educator Preparation
00:08:18.570 --> 00:08:20.670
and Certification, Sub Chapter A
00:08:20.670 --> 00:08:25.070
General Provisions 230.1 Definitions,
00:08:25.070 --> 00:08:26.660
with an effective date of 20 days
00:08:26.660 --> 00:08:28.140
after filing the adoption notice
00:08:28.140 --> 00:08:29.433
with the Texas Register.
00:08:30.580 --> 00:08:31.413
Thank you.
00:08:31.413 --> 00:08:32.246
Do I have a second?
00:08:33.400 --> 00:08:36.283
Courtney MacDonald seconds the motion.
00:08:37.420 --> 00:08:38.690
All right all those in favor.
00:08:38.690 --> 00:08:39.710
Raise your right hand
00:08:39.710 --> 00:08:42.110
and hold it up so that the vote may be recorded.
00:08:46.370 --> 00:08:47.203
Thank you.
00:08:47.203 --> 00:08:49.500
Any opposition do the same.
00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:50.333
No opposition.
00:08:50.333 --> 00:08:53.990
The motion carries going into item number six.
00:08:53.990 --> 00:08:56.800
Charter 231 Proposed Review.
00:08:56.800 --> 00:08:58.520
Marylin Cook please.
00:08:58.520 --> 00:09:00.550
Thank you so much, Dr. Cavazos, members,
00:09:00.550 --> 00:09:03.460
item six is seeking your support
00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:06.410
in opening the four year rule review
00:09:06.410 --> 00:09:10.830
for Chapter 231 and
as you all will remember
00:09:10.830 --> 00:09:13.140
Chapter 231 is SBEC's rules
00:09:13.140 --> 00:09:16.540
on guidance for the appropriate certificates.
00:09:16.540 --> 00:09:18.700
Individuals would need to hold to be placed
00:09:18.700 --> 00:09:22.862
into various classroom or administrator assignments.
00:09:22.862 --> 00:09:25.960
It's simply time for this chapter to come up
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:27.210
for the full review
00:09:27.210 --> 00:09:29.120
and allow the public to give feedback
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.070
on whether or not they believe there's merit
00:09:31.070 --> 00:09:33.970
to having these rules continue to exist.
00:09:33.970 --> 00:09:35.390
I will also say that it's likely
00:09:35.390 --> 00:09:36.990
during the 30 day public comment
00:09:36.990 --> 00:09:39.480
and review period we will get feedback
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:40.890
from individuals in the field
00:09:40.890 --> 00:09:42.820
about ways in which we can continue
00:09:42.820 --> 00:09:43.957
to improve these rules
00:09:43.957 --> 00:09:47.110
or add additional flexibility to allow districts
00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:49.320
to place folks into assignments.
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:51.010
Your support would simply allow us
00:09:51.010 --> 00:09:52.280
to begin that process.
00:09:52.280 --> 00:09:55.270
And I anticipate coming
back to you again in April
00:09:55.270 --> 00:09:57.570
with feedback on the public comments received
00:09:57.570 --> 00:09:58.403
and your support,
00:09:58.403 --> 00:10:00.130
and then closing the road with you.
00:10:02.783 --> 00:10:05.910
Ms. Allen, any public testimony?
00:10:05.910 --> 00:10:06.743
Yes, sir.
00:10:06.743 --> 00:10:10.270
We do have one public testimony for this item.
00:10:10.270 --> 00:10:12.620
So Mr. John Owen,
if you will go ahead
00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:14.840
and turn your camera on
and your microphone on.
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:16.860
You'll have three minutes
00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:18.060
for your public testimony.
00:10:18.060 --> 00:10:19.310
So whenever you're ready.
00:10:20.250 --> 00:10:21.660
Can you hear me?
00:10:21.660 --> 00:10:22.580
Yes, sir.
00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:23.830
Very good.
00:10:23.830 --> 00:10:25.360
Good morning. Members of the Committee
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.010
and thank you for this opportunity
00:10:27.010 --> 00:10:29.680
to address you on this important matter.
00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:32.473
Particularly the computer science eight
00:10:32.473 --> 00:10:34.390
through 12 certification,
00:10:34.390 --> 00:10:38.231
which can be found on page 97 of the agenda item,
00:10:38.231 --> 00:10:41.160
a agenda for item number six.
00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:43.150
This certification allows teachers
00:10:43.150 --> 00:10:44.720
to teach several courses
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.540
in the computer science spectrum of choices.
00:10:47.540 --> 00:10:51.260
My name is John Owen
and I teach computer science.
00:10:51.260 --> 00:10:53.270
I used to teach it to students
00:10:53.270 --> 00:10:55.220
but now I teach it to teachers
00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:57.326
who want to teach it to students.
00:10:57.326 --> 00:11:02.180
Back in 2015 in partnership with Dr. Carol Fletcher,
00:11:02.180 --> 00:11:03.610
I started an organization
00:11:03.610 --> 00:11:05.320
at the university of Texas at Austin
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.360
called We Teach CS.
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:10.350
Whose sole purpose
is to help teachers learn
00:11:10.350 --> 00:11:14.040
how to teach computer
science and to prepare for
00:11:14.040 --> 00:11:16.140
and pass the very challenging
00:11:16.140 --> 00:11:18.949
Texas 241 certification test helping teachers
00:11:18.949 --> 00:11:21.623
to earn the certification I mentioned earlier.
00:11:22.510 --> 00:11:24.530
I have conducted dozens of workshops
00:11:24.530 --> 00:11:28.100
over the years, both in person and virtual,
00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:31.290
helping over 600 teachers in Texas alone,
00:11:31.290 --> 00:11:33.670
take and pass the test.
00:11:33.670 --> 00:11:35.470
I have produced online courses
00:11:35.470 --> 00:11:38.140
from which many teachers have benefited.
00:11:38.140 --> 00:11:40.203
Once trained and certified
00:11:40.203 --> 00:11:42.340
teachers then go on into the classroom
00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:43.730
and begin teaching where
00:11:43.730 --> 00:11:46.930
We Teach CS continues teachers support
00:11:46.930 --> 00:11:49.610
with webinars, online curriculum
00:11:49.610 --> 00:11:51.150
and periodic help sessions
00:11:51.150 --> 00:11:53.313
as they embark on this important journey.
00:11:54.290 --> 00:11:57.390
In October, 2015, I served
00:11:57.390 --> 00:12:02.390
on the TEA Committee to revise the old 141 standards
00:12:02.420 --> 00:12:05.780
into the current 241 competencies.
00:12:05.780 --> 00:12:06.613
These are the ones
00:12:06.613 --> 00:12:09.440
on which the certification test is based
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:10.580
for teachers to earn
00:12:10.580 --> 00:12:12.903
the CS eight through 12 certification.
00:12:14.340 --> 00:12:16.970
I felt pretty good about our efforts
00:12:16.970 --> 00:12:18.280
for the most part
00:12:18.280 --> 00:12:20.820
and feel the new test is a good instrument
00:12:20.820 --> 00:12:24.320
for measuring the competency level of a beginning teacher
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:26.663
with a few exceptions.
00:12:27.620 --> 00:12:31.010
That said there's always room for improvement.
00:12:31.010 --> 00:12:32.580
And as new issues arise
00:12:32.580 --> 00:12:35.040
to face our computer science teachers,
00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:37.170
namely student privacy
00:12:37.170 --> 00:12:39.990
and security in our virtual learning world
00:12:39.990 --> 00:12:42.357
as well as equity and accessibility issues
00:12:42.357 --> 00:12:43.660
as we strive
00:12:43.660 --> 00:12:46.923
to make computer science available to all students.
00:12:47.780 --> 00:12:51.020
It is important we
as education leaders
00:12:51.020 --> 00:12:53.750
revisit on a regular basis,
00:12:53.750 --> 00:12:55.420
the knowledge and understanding
00:12:55.420 --> 00:12:57.920
we require our teachers to have
00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:00.263
to be effective computer science educators.
00:13:01.230 --> 00:13:02.260
It is for this reason,
00:13:02.260 --> 00:13:05.420
I come to you today in support of this matter
00:13:05.420 --> 00:13:09.530
affirming the fact chapter 231 continues to exist
00:13:09.530 --> 00:13:13.830
and furthermore continues to be reviewed on a regular basis.
00:13:13.830 --> 00:13:17.711
Examining all competencies carefully for relevance
00:13:17.711 --> 00:13:20.550
keeping those items that are good,
00:13:20.550 --> 00:13:23.610
revising items that need to be revised.
00:13:23.610 --> 00:13:27.080
Perhaps calling out some items no longer relevant
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.163
and adding new items as new issues arise.
00:13:31.150 --> 00:13:32.910
And with that, I
thank you for your time
00:13:32.910 --> 00:13:34.791
and I'll be happy to answer any questions.
00:13:34.791 --> 00:13:36.060
Thank you, Mr. Owen
00:13:36.060 --> 00:13:38.521
and thank you for your service to our teachers.
00:13:38.521 --> 00:13:39.487
Thank you.
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.290
Dr. Cavazos that concludes
00:13:43.290 --> 00:13:45.490
public testimony for this item.
00:13:45.490 --> 00:13:46.323
Thank you.
00:13:47.690 --> 00:13:49.090
Board members any questions?
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.313
Seeing none.
00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:56.973
Do I have a motion?
00:14:02.620 --> 00:14:06.210
All right, I see Jean Streepey, go ahead, Jean.
00:14:06.210 --> 00:14:07.580
I move that the Board approve
00:14:07.580 --> 00:14:10.790
the Propose Review
of 19 TAC Chapter 231
00:14:10.790 --> 00:14:13.430
Requirements for Public School Personnel Assignments
00:14:13.430 --> 00:14:17.140
to be published as proposed in the Texas Register.
00:14:17.140 --> 00:14:17.973
Thank you.
00:14:17.973 --> 00:14:19.430
Do I have a second?
00:14:19.430 --> 00:14:22.063
I see Rohanna Sykes seconds that motion.
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:25.890
All those in favor raise your right hand
00:14:25.890 --> 00:14:28.583
and hold it up so that the vote may be recorded.
00:14:32.700 --> 00:14:33.820
Thank you.
00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:36.000
Any opposed do the same.
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:36.840
No opposition.
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.690
The motion carries, item number seven
00:14:40.660 --> 00:14:44.170
Chapter 245 proposed Review.
00:14:44.170 --> 00:14:45.954
Marylin Cook, please.
00:14:45.954 --> 00:14:47.750
Thank you so much Chairman Cavazos, members.
00:14:47.750 --> 00:14:50.300
I almost get to say this item does exactly
00:14:50.300 --> 00:14:52.150
what item six does.
00:14:52.150 --> 00:14:54.270
So again, for item seven,
00:14:54.270 --> 00:14:56.155
this will be seeking your support
00:14:56.155 --> 00:15:00.320
in opening the four year rule review for Chapter 245.
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.500
Chapter 245 is the Board's rules,
00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:04.040
which provide us with guidance
00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:05.527
on how to help individuals
00:15:05.527 --> 00:15:08.130
who are licensed in other countries
00:15:08.130 --> 00:15:11.740
navigate the process to become certified here in Texas.
00:15:11.740 --> 00:15:15.020
So again, with your support of allowing us to open
00:15:15.020 --> 00:15:17.910
up the four year public rule review,
00:15:17.910 --> 00:15:19.116
we will get comment
00:15:19.116 --> 00:15:21.970
and be able to bring back to you in April.
00:15:21.970 --> 00:15:23.380
Any feedback that we receive
00:15:23.380 --> 00:15:25.950
on the rules and possibly any opportunities
00:15:25.950 --> 00:15:27.220
where the public has indicated
00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:29.530
we can improve on rulemaking to facilitate
00:15:29.530 --> 00:15:33.053
that process for individuals certified in other countries.
00:15:34.770 --> 00:15:35.983
Thank you, Marilyn.
00:15:37.260 --> 00:15:39.952
Ms. Allen, any public testimony?
00:15:39.952 --> 00:15:41.733
No, sir not for this item.
00:15:42.956 --> 00:15:45.773
Board members, any questions for Ms. Cook?
00:15:48.650 --> 00:15:50.320
Seeing none.
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:53.300
The motion is language is on your slide deck .
00:15:53.300 --> 00:15:56.093
Do I see someone that wants to make the motion.
00:15:57.860 --> 00:16:00.460
Alright, Tommy Coleman, please.
00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:01.950
I move that the Board approve
00:16:01.950 --> 00:16:04.000
the proposed review of title 19
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.605
Texas Administrative Code Chapter 245 Certification
00:16:07.605 --> 00:16:11.140
of Educators from Other Countries to be published
00:16:11.140 --> 00:16:13.601
as proposed in the Texas Register.
00:16:13.601 --> 00:16:14.470
Thank you, Mr. Coleman,
00:16:14.470 --> 00:16:15.530
do I have a second?
00:16:15.530 --> 00:16:17.593
Ms. Courtney McDonald's seconds.
00:16:18.830 --> 00:16:20.880
All those in favor raise your right hand
00:16:20.880 --> 00:16:23.563
and hold it up so that the vote may be recorded.
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:29.440
Thank you.
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.780
Any opposition do the same.
00:16:31.780 --> 00:16:34.620
No opposition the motion carries.
00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:39.620
Item number eight, 2019-2020 ASEP accreditation statuses.
00:16:43.024 --> 00:16:46.113
Mark Olofson and Christie Pogue.
00:16:47.380 --> 00:16:48.840
Morning, Dr. Cavazos
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.850
and good morning to the Board.
00:16:50.850 --> 00:16:54.280
So this item begins on page 165 of your PDF
00:16:54.280 --> 00:16:55.680
and it provides an opportunity
00:16:55.680 --> 00:16:58.340
for the Board to approve the accreditation statuses
00:16:58.340 --> 00:17:00.516
for educator preparation programs,
00:17:00.516 --> 00:17:03.770
and to provide a quick update to the Board
00:17:03.770 --> 00:17:06.440
about the accountability system looking forward.
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:11.033
So if we go to the next slide we have,
00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:14.940
as a reminder we've got some acronyms related
00:17:14.940 --> 00:17:17.180
ASEP is our accountability system
00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:19.530
for educator preparation programs.
00:17:19.530 --> 00:17:20.480
Which is your system
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.740
of indicators and standards for EPP accountability.
00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:26.380
And those inform the accreditation status.
00:17:26.380 --> 00:17:28.920
The accreditation status is that annual rating
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.760
for educator preparation programs based on ASEP.
00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:34.400
And then when we talk about chapter 229
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.050
that's the code chapter that contains the rules
00:17:37.050 --> 00:17:40.470
for ASEP and for your accreditation statuses.
00:17:40.470 --> 00:17:43.043
Now on the next
slide, this is a reminder
00:17:43.043 --> 00:17:46.160
of the ASEP indicators that are in your rule.
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.420
And also in statute.
00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:51.120
Test pass rate, our principal survey
00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:54.197
our improvement of student achievement indicators,
00:17:54.197 --> 00:17:57.930
the frequency and duration of observations,
00:17:57.930 --> 00:17:59.410
the quality of field supervision
00:17:59.410 --> 00:18:01.600
and the new teacher satisfaction.
00:18:01.600 --> 00:18:04.440
So all this may seem a little bit like dejavu
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.411
because back at the October meeting
00:18:06.411 --> 00:18:08.930
the Board approved that all EPPs
00:18:08.930 --> 00:18:11.210
would get the rating of not rated
00:18:11.210 --> 00:18:12.873
Declared State of Disaster.
00:18:14.044 --> 00:18:17.860
The data generated during the 19-20 reporting year
00:18:19.250 --> 00:18:21.700
has been reported to preparation programs,
00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:24.440
but not used for accountability purposes.
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:27.080
So after the Board took that action
00:18:27.080 --> 00:18:31.260
back in November TEA staff we ran the numbers anyway
00:18:31.260 --> 00:18:33.790
and we sent EPPs formal notification
00:18:33.790 --> 00:18:37.920
informing them that staff would recommend this status
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:40.640
of not rated Declared State of Disaster
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:41.887
for the Board's approval.
00:18:41.887 --> 00:18:44.110
And we also send them their data.
00:18:44.110 --> 00:18:45.905
So the action today then
00:18:45.905 --> 00:18:49.450
is to approve of these statuses.
00:18:49.450 --> 00:18:51.990
For your reference a list of the programs
00:18:51.990 --> 00:18:54.950
is included in the agenda item
00:18:54.950 --> 00:18:56.430
as is attachment two
00:18:56.430 --> 00:18:59.180
which I think starts on page eight of the item.
00:18:59.180 --> 00:19:02.000
So that's the action that y'all are doing today
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.200
is to approve this status
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:07.520
that you had previously put into rule.
00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:09.863
For just a brief look forward
00:19:09.863 --> 00:19:12.043
I'll the hand over to Ms. Pogue.
00:19:15.163 --> 00:19:18.028
Morning Chairman Cavazos, Board members.
00:19:18.028 --> 00:19:19.630
What we wanted to do is
00:19:19.630 --> 00:19:22.360
before you all take action on the statuses
00:19:22.360 --> 00:19:24.470
that you have codifying your rule.
00:19:24.470 --> 00:19:26.910
We wanted to take a really quick moment to
00:19:26.910 --> 00:19:29.620
give you a courtesy update
00:19:30.864 --> 00:19:32.300
about an agenda item
00:19:32.300 --> 00:19:35.730
that will be coming forward to you in April.
00:19:35.730 --> 00:19:39.290
Just wanted to give you
just a courtesy heads up
00:19:39.290 --> 00:19:41.430
that we're not posted for discussion on this.
00:19:41.430 --> 00:19:45.420
So this is just staff's opportunity to let you know
00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:48.590
that we will be bringing an item to you sooner
00:19:48.590 --> 00:19:50.490
rather than later, we had promised you all
00:19:50.490 --> 00:19:52.784
that we would be keeping very close ties
00:19:52.784 --> 00:19:55.690
to the field to ensure
00:19:55.690 --> 00:19:57.200
that you all have got plenty
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:01.710
of time to make any decisions necessary moving forward.
00:20:01.710 --> 00:20:02.720
So in April we're gonna
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.810
bring you a discussion item looking forward
00:20:04.810 --> 00:20:08.480
to those 2021 ASEP statuses.
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.430
Especially with the continued effect
00:20:10.430 --> 00:20:13.060
of the public health crisis
that actually impacted
00:20:13.060 --> 00:20:15.920
the 2019-2020 statuses
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:17.880
that you'll be voting on today.
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:19.520
Some of the things that we're hearing from the field
00:20:19.520 --> 00:20:22.320
which I'm sure none of you will be surprised
00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:24.880
with is that just the continued challenges
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.611
that EPPS have with access to campuses
00:20:27.611 --> 00:20:29.842
and fields supervisors,
00:20:29.842 --> 00:20:33.720
teacher evaluations have been waived in some areas.
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:35.970
Candidates with waiver probationary certificates
00:20:35.970 --> 00:20:38.003
are excluded from the test pass rate.
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:43.020
However we just recently also had a meeting
00:20:43.020 --> 00:20:46.500
with your EPAC and
they also expressed
00:20:46.500 --> 00:20:49.200
a desire to receive the data
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.130
that to help inform their programming.
00:20:52.130 --> 00:20:54.300
So again, not posted for discussion
00:20:54.300 --> 00:20:57.050
but wanted to give you a courtesy heads up
00:20:57.050 --> 00:21:00.170
that we will be bringing you a discussion item in April.
00:21:00.170 --> 00:21:01.890
So with that, we will hand it back over
00:21:01.890 --> 00:21:04.240
to your Chairman Cavazos so you
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:06.960
and the Board can vote on the statuses
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.723
that you codified last fall.
00:21:10.770 --> 00:21:12.060
Thank you, Christie.
00:21:12.060 --> 00:21:14.660
Ms. Allen are there any public testimony?
00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:16.470
No sir there are none.
00:21:16.470 --> 00:21:17.400
Thank you.
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:18.800
Board members any questions?
00:21:21.010 --> 00:21:22.610
Dr. Kelly?
00:21:22.610 --> 00:21:23.443
Yes, sir.
00:21:23.443 --> 00:21:24.950
Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board,
00:21:24.950 --> 00:21:28.980
just a minor point, Dr. Olofson could comment.
00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:32.603
I'm looking at page
167, where it goes
00:21:32.603 --> 00:21:36.200
through the performance standards for each indicator.
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.288
And just a question Dr. Olofson
00:21:38.288 --> 00:21:40.200
under the one that says percentage
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:41.890
of candidates in internship
00:21:41.890 --> 00:21:44.310
who received the required number of field observations.
00:21:44.310 --> 00:21:46.490
And it's at 95%.
00:21:46.490 --> 00:21:49.097
Now setting aside the pandemic
00:21:49.097 --> 00:21:51.890
and the difficulty of that right now,
00:21:51.890 --> 00:21:53.040
is that a flaw?
00:21:53.040 --> 00:21:55.300
In other words, it seems like
00:21:55.300 --> 00:21:57.370
if those, the required number
00:21:57.370 --> 00:21:58.853
of field observations,
00:21:58.853 --> 00:22:01.550
everybody should have those minimum.
00:22:01.550 --> 00:22:05.600
So my question is should that be a 100%
00:22:05.600 --> 00:22:10.370
or is there a reason
why it's at 95%
00:22:10.370 --> 00:22:12.553
for the minimum number of observations?
00:22:13.620 --> 00:22:15.180
Thank you so much for that question.
00:22:15.180 --> 00:22:17.810
And that is a really important indicator.
00:22:17.810 --> 00:22:21.010
Because we know that candidates receiving,
00:22:21.010 --> 00:22:22.750
that high quality feedback
00:22:23.950 --> 00:22:25.530
based on their practice
00:22:25.530 --> 00:22:27.090
from trained field supervisors
00:22:27.090 --> 00:22:29.110
is absolutely important
00:22:29.110 --> 00:22:31.070
in their progress towards being highly
00:22:31.070 --> 00:22:32.050
skilled educators ready
00:22:32.050 --> 00:22:33.850
for the classroom on day one, there.
00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:38.590
We know this is actually codified elsewhere in rule.
00:22:38.590 --> 00:22:42.870
So your rule Chapter 228 requires preparation
00:22:42.870 --> 00:22:45.800
programs to provide the required number
00:22:45.800 --> 00:22:48.530
of observations for every candidate.
00:22:48.530 --> 00:22:51.770
So if they don't do that for a candidate,
00:22:51.770 --> 00:22:54.280
it is a an outstanding rule violation
00:22:54.280 --> 00:22:56.706
as well, per Chapter 228.
00:22:56.706 --> 00:22:58.720
I think we're always open
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.950
to exploring if there does need to be any updates.
00:23:01.950 --> 00:23:03.290
I would also note that,
00:23:03.290 --> 00:23:04.681
that indicator is the only indicator
00:23:04.681 --> 00:23:08.180
that is not subject to our small group exception.
00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:11.400
So that it is a very high floor,
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:13.500
a very high requirement.
00:23:13.500 --> 00:23:15.450
I can't speak to the full deliberations
00:23:15.450 --> 00:23:18.550
about how we landed on that 95%.
00:23:18.550 --> 00:23:20.990
It is certainly the highest indicator
00:23:20.990 --> 00:23:24.553
and 100% is required in rule elsewhere.
00:23:24.553 --> 00:23:27.000
I don't know if there may have been discussion
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.730
about some flexibility for if one
00:23:29.730 --> 00:23:33.120
or two people fall through the cracks
00:23:33.120 --> 00:23:35.930
as it were if there were scheduling issues,
00:23:35.930 --> 00:23:40.740
if there were issues around field supervisors
00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:43.780
being unable to access buildings,
00:23:43.780 --> 00:23:44.890
those types of things.
00:23:44.890 --> 00:23:47.040
That perhaps some flexibility was built in there,
00:23:47.040 --> 00:23:48.010
we can certainly go back
00:23:48.010 --> 00:23:50.460
and look at what the deliberation discussion was
00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:53.381
around the 95% and clear that up for you.
00:23:53.381 --> 00:23:56.410
But I would note that the requirement is required
00:23:56.410 --> 00:23:59.280
for all all candidates elsewhere in rule.
00:24:00.280 --> 00:24:01.260
Thank you Dr. Olofson.
00:24:01.260 --> 00:24:02.600
I don't mean for that to hold up
00:24:02.600 --> 00:24:04.000
what we're doing or anything
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:08.870
just more of a seeking better understanding for the future.
00:24:08.870 --> 00:24:10.397
Thank you Dr. Kelly.
00:24:10.397 --> 00:24:11.950
And I see Emily Garcia.
00:24:11.950 --> 00:24:13.094
You have a question.
00:24:13.094 --> 00:24:14.410
Good morning everyone.
00:24:14.410 --> 00:24:18.020
I was just gonna add to that flexibility being
00:24:18.020 --> 00:24:20.220
we've seen that around someone going
00:24:20.220 --> 00:24:23.380
on short-term disability or maternity leave
00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:25.410
or the teacher actually being physically out
00:24:25.410 --> 00:24:28.340
of the classroom for FMLA or something like that
00:24:28.340 --> 00:24:31.420
where they're through no fault of their own
00:24:31.420 --> 00:24:32.710
or no fault of the EPP,
00:24:32.710 --> 00:24:35.320
they're just physically not able to reach that.
00:24:35.320 --> 00:24:38.470
So I think 95 it is a high standard.
00:24:38.470 --> 00:24:39.303
We'd love a hundred,
00:24:39.303 --> 00:24:40.713
but I think it's just a reflection
00:24:40.713 --> 00:24:42.040
of kind of the realities
00:24:42.040 --> 00:24:44.700
of what sometimes gets in the way.
00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:45.800
Thank you Ms. Garcia.
00:24:45.800 --> 00:24:47.553
And I presume also COVID,
00:24:48.530 --> 00:24:50.810
by staff having to quarantine
00:24:50.810 --> 00:24:52.480
that kind of stuff may have gotten
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:53.580
in the way as well.
00:24:53.580 --> 00:24:55.763
Any other questions from SBEC members?
00:24:57.630 --> 00:25:00.353
I do wanna... Oh,
go ahead Dr. Lofters.
00:25:00.353 --> 00:25:03.120
Yes, I have a question about, and thank you.
00:25:03.120 --> 00:25:05.390
Thank you Dr. Cavazos.
00:25:05.390 --> 00:25:08.920
I have a question about the improves student achievement.
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:09.930
So when I read the footnote
00:25:09.930 --> 00:25:12.410
it says the first two academic years
00:25:13.250 --> 00:25:16.450
after 19-20 you'll be able to use data
00:25:16.450 --> 00:25:19.190
to report this item.
00:25:19.190 --> 00:25:23.990
So with star being canceled last year
00:25:24.870 --> 00:25:29.023
and with their star this
year, but I understand
00:25:29.023 --> 00:25:31.970
that some students may not be required to take it
00:25:31.970 --> 00:25:34.800
from what I heard in recent reports.
00:25:34.800 --> 00:25:37.333
How does that look going forward?
00:25:38.650 --> 00:25:41.250
When do you expect this item to actually impact
00:25:42.130 --> 00:25:45.083
the ASEP reporting for these EPPS?
00:25:47.130 --> 00:25:48.650
Thank you for that question, Dr. Lofters.
00:25:48.650 --> 00:25:50.610
So if you'll remember
00:25:50.610 --> 00:25:53.140
that when we actually recently just to put all
00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:57.570
of this into rule
including that time period
00:25:57.570 --> 00:25:59.260
that data dependent time period
00:25:59.260 --> 00:26:00.510
related to this indicator.
00:26:00.510 --> 00:26:05.510
So we had this, I believe for proposal last summer
00:26:06.010 --> 00:26:08.160
and then we approved it this past October
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:10.080
with this language in it
00:26:10.080 --> 00:26:11.670
related to the availability
00:26:11.670 --> 00:26:14.100
of data rather than a timeline.
00:26:14.100 --> 00:26:17.050
So luckily the way
00:26:17.050 --> 00:26:19.680
that the the Board approved the rule language
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:21.670
related to this indicator
00:26:21.670 --> 00:26:24.080
allows us to then follow along
00:26:24.080 --> 00:26:28.100
to the extent that the
folks who do that work
00:26:28.100 --> 00:26:29.590
with the star test and
00:26:29.590 --> 00:26:32.030
with the student growth measure
00:26:32.030 --> 00:26:33.961
as they are able to generate
00:26:33.961 --> 00:26:37.520
that data based on their analysis
00:26:37.520 --> 00:26:39.270
and growing data from the field.
00:26:39.270 --> 00:26:41.300
Then we are then able to use it
00:26:41.300 --> 00:26:42.940
for our purposes here.
00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:45.430
So all that's a long way to say is
00:26:45.430 --> 00:26:49.070
that I don't have a final answer on that.
00:26:49.070 --> 00:26:51.560
I agree with you that,
00:26:51.560 --> 00:26:54.680
there are likely to be there in necessitates
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:59.370
multiple years of this data being available from the field.
00:26:59.370 --> 00:27:01.813
The folks who work again with our,
00:27:01.813 --> 00:27:06.813
in testing, generating this student growth measure,
00:27:09.494 --> 00:27:11.503
as they're able to provide that data to us
00:27:11.503 --> 00:27:14.483
then we will be able to provide it to the field.
00:27:15.590 --> 00:27:17.990
But again, that's the work that they're doing
00:27:17.990 --> 00:27:22.440
within the K-12 star testing unit and accountability unit.
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:24.080
And then we just get to use that data
00:27:24.080 --> 00:27:26.150
as it becomes available.
00:27:26.150 --> 00:27:27.690
And I don't know
00:27:27.690 --> 00:27:30.440
that there is a final decision on how
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:32.440
and when the student growth measure
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:34.560
will be available to the field.
00:27:34.560 --> 00:27:36.480
So we're still, again,
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.770
we're downstream of that great data work
00:27:38.770 --> 00:27:39.603
that they're doing there
00:27:39.603 --> 00:27:42.093
so that we can utilize it for our purposes.
00:27:43.334 --> 00:27:44.167
Thank you.
00:27:44.167 --> 00:27:45.000
Thank you.
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:45.833
Thank you, Mark.
00:27:45.833 --> 00:27:47.690
And I would suppose
00:27:47.690 --> 00:27:49.457
that this year it's gonna be one of those years.
00:27:49.457 --> 00:27:51.980
That's going to delay everything again
00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:53.140
at the rate we're going.
00:27:53.140 --> 00:27:55.523
So any other questions?
00:27:57.830 --> 00:28:02.220
All right, let's go to the, does this, have a motion?
00:28:02.220 --> 00:28:05.213
Do I see someone that would like to make the motion?
00:28:08.550 --> 00:28:10.243
Okay. I see Dr. Kelly.
00:28:11.850 --> 00:28:16.257
Yes Mr. Chairman, I move to approve that 2019-2020
00:28:17.330 --> 00:28:20.370
Accountability System for Educator Prep Programs
00:28:20.370 --> 00:28:23.430
accreditation services as presented.
00:28:23.430 --> 00:28:24.263
Thank you.
00:28:24.263 --> 00:28:25.096
Do I have a second?
00:28:26.370 --> 00:28:28.023
Jean Streepey seconded.
00:28:29.060 --> 00:28:30.200
All right all those in favor,
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:31.660
raise your right hand and hold it
00:28:31.660 --> 00:28:33.883
up so that the vote may be recorded.
00:28:37.870 --> 00:28:38.703
All right.
00:28:38.703 --> 00:28:39.536
Thank you.
00:28:39.536 --> 00:28:41.891
All those in opposition do the same.
00:28:41.891 --> 00:28:43.620
And there there's no opposition the motion carries.
00:28:43.620 --> 00:28:45.373
Moving on to item number nine.
00:28:46.351 --> 00:28:50.520
2019-2020 EPP, commendations,
00:28:50.520 --> 00:28:53.403
Mark Dr. Olofson and Christie Pogue.
00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:55.830
Thank you, Dr. Cavazos.
00:28:55.830 --> 00:28:59.144
This is annually my favorite item.
00:28:59.144 --> 00:29:00.791
So this is an opportunity
00:29:00.791 --> 00:29:03.810
for the Board to approve the EPP commendations
00:29:03.810 --> 00:29:06.000
for the 19/20 academic year.
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:09.143
This does begin on page 180 of your PDF.
00:29:10.310 --> 00:29:12.700
So a quick background
00:29:12.700 --> 00:29:14.780
your EPP commendation framework
00:29:14.780 --> 00:29:17.410
was adopted back in 2019
00:29:17.410 --> 00:29:20.720
and in February, 2020 last year, about this time
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:21.553
it was the first time
00:29:21.553 --> 00:29:22.820
that these commendations were awarded
00:29:22.820 --> 00:29:24.640
to our preparation programs.
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:26.710
As a reminder there on
the right side you'll see
00:29:26.710 --> 00:29:29.470
that there are four categories of commendations.
00:29:29.470 --> 00:29:32.480
These include that rigorous and robust preparation
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.730
which allows the SBEC to recognize EPPs
00:29:34.730 --> 00:29:36.440
that perform above and beyond
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:39.313
on those ASEP annual performance standards.
00:29:40.336 --> 00:29:43.060
The category of preparing the educators Texas needs.
00:29:43.060 --> 00:29:45.190
Which allows the SBEC to recognize EPPs
00:29:45.190 --> 00:29:48.040
that actively recruit educators in shortage areas.
00:29:48.040 --> 00:29:49.940
Educators of color and educators
00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:51.740
that go on to work in rural schools.
00:29:53.300 --> 00:29:56.420
The category of preparing educators for longterm success
00:29:56.420 --> 00:30:00.530
which allows the SBEC to recognize EPPs that demonstrate
00:30:00.530 --> 00:30:03.540
or that support educators retention in the profession
00:30:03.540 --> 00:30:05.900
and teachers growth into professional roles.
00:30:05.900 --> 00:30:07.880
And then finally the fourth category
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:09.790
of innovative educator preparation
00:30:09.790 --> 00:30:12.300
which allows the SBEC to
recognized prep programs
00:30:12.300 --> 00:30:15.190
that go above and beyond in seeking new pathways
00:30:15.190 --> 00:30:18.670
in preparing candidates through their programs.
00:30:18.670 --> 00:30:21.160
Now more detailed vindication information
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:23.290
about the indicators and
the performance standards
00:30:23.290 --> 00:30:24.430
are in your Board book
00:30:24.430 --> 00:30:26.750
it starts on page two of the item.
00:30:26.750 --> 00:30:28.200
And of course the calculations
00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:31.290
and processes for determining these standards
00:30:31.290 --> 00:30:32.400
were approved by the Board
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:35.640
as part of the ASEP manual back in October.
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:36.800
Also as a reminder
00:30:36.800 --> 00:30:39.710
prep programs can receive commendations in one
00:30:39.710 --> 00:30:41.830
or in multiple categories,
00:30:41.830 --> 00:30:43.613
and you'll see some programs did
00:30:43.613 --> 00:30:46.240
that receive multiple commendations.
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:47.440
On attachment two
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:50.010
which starts in page eight of the item.
00:30:50.010 --> 00:30:52.680
I think that's PDF page 188,
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:53.930
that lists the programs
00:30:53.930 --> 00:30:55.500
and their performance on these indicators.
00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:58.420
The programs that are offered commendation.
00:30:58.420 --> 00:31:00.030
Following the process that's described
00:31:00.030 --> 00:31:03.470
in the ASEP manual, we completed these calculations.
00:31:03.470 --> 00:31:06.810
Then we remove any
EPPs that are not eligible due
00:31:06.810 --> 00:31:09.230
to being under sanction from the SBEC.
00:31:09.230 --> 00:31:11.960
Now, again, the commendations
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:13.500
for the first three categories
00:31:13.500 --> 00:31:16.070
are on the PDF and in your Board book.
00:31:16.070 --> 00:31:17.680
Probably new this year
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:19.040
and very exciting especially
00:31:19.040 --> 00:31:21.560
coming off our work
yesterday is the commendation
00:31:21.560 --> 00:31:25.010
for the innovative educator preparation category.
00:31:25.010 --> 00:31:28.110
So a little bit more on
that, on the next slide.
00:31:28.110 --> 00:31:31.390
So the innovative educator preparation commendation
00:31:31.390 --> 00:31:34.010
is awarded at the Board's discretion.
00:31:34.010 --> 00:31:37.460
So it's based on the
innovative EPP category
00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:39.113
that's contained in the manual.
00:31:39.970 --> 00:31:43.060
Staff based on that call or developed a call
00:31:43.060 --> 00:31:45.070
for applications and posted
00:31:45.070 --> 00:31:47.720
that for preparation programs.
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:50.190
And then the Committee of the Board chaired
00:31:50.190 --> 00:31:52.070
by Mr. Rodriguez met
00:31:52.070 --> 00:31:54.290
to discuss and generate recommendations.
00:31:54.290 --> 00:31:55.800
So they met back in December to talk
00:31:55.800 --> 00:31:58.590
about how they would go about making their evaluations.
00:31:58.590 --> 00:32:01.630
And then we had a really great discussion meeting yesterday
00:32:01.630 --> 00:32:04.653
where they were able to generate recommendations.
00:32:06.210 --> 00:32:08.880
The recommendations are contained on the following slide
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:11.320
but I would hand it over at this time
00:32:11.320 --> 00:32:13.430
to Mr. Rodriguez, to speak
00:32:13.430 --> 00:32:16.053
about the process of the committees.
00:32:24.670 --> 00:32:25.503
Thank you.
00:32:27.820 --> 00:32:29.310
Chairman Cavazos with your permission
00:32:29.310 --> 00:32:30.510
I have a prepared statement
00:32:30.510 --> 00:32:31.970
I'd like to read if I may.
00:32:31.970 --> 00:32:32.963
Yes, of course.
00:32:33.870 --> 00:32:36.440
Chairman Cavazos and SBEC members.
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:37.970
Thank you for entrusting me
00:32:37.970 --> 00:32:41.270
with chairing this inaugural committee.
00:32:41.270 --> 00:32:44.290
As a committee we establish processes
00:32:44.290 --> 00:32:46.760
and criteria to guide us in reviewing
00:32:46.760 --> 00:32:49.170
and scoring the submitted applications
00:32:49.170 --> 00:32:53.030
for SBEC commendations in category four.
00:32:53.030 --> 00:32:55.620
Innovative educator preparation,
00:32:55.620 --> 00:32:59.593
focusing on authentic practice-based preparation.
00:33:01.910 --> 00:33:04.140
In December we met to provide guidance
00:33:04.140 --> 00:33:05.700
and direction on what we,
00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:07.860
as a committee wanted to see
00:33:07.860 --> 00:33:10.490
in reviewing the application packets.
00:33:10.490 --> 00:33:11.940
We discussed the criteria
00:33:11.940 --> 00:33:13.890
that we wanted to be reflected
00:33:13.890 --> 00:33:15.510
in the scoring materials
00:33:15.510 --> 00:33:19.670
and the appropriate navigational tools when reviewing.
00:33:19.670 --> 00:33:22.670
We reviewed the application packets individually
00:33:22.670 --> 00:33:26.080
and submitted scores through a survey instrument
00:33:26.080 --> 00:33:29.640
then met just yesterday to discuss the findings
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:31.360
and deliberate and approve
00:33:31.360 --> 00:33:33.790
the education preparation programs
00:33:33.790 --> 00:33:37.420
that we felt as the committee wanted
00:33:37.420 --> 00:33:39.943
an SBEC commendation in this category.
00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:43.340
I directed staff to identify
00:33:43.340 --> 00:33:45.690
any natural breaks in the data
00:33:45.690 --> 00:33:49.480
as a starting place to help inform our discussion.
00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:53.210
After a vibrant and in-depth conversation.
00:33:53.210 --> 00:33:56.160
We voted on bringing three programs
00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:58.283
to you for Board approval.
00:34:01.270 --> 00:34:03.528
We received 12 applications
00:34:03.528 --> 00:34:05.210
and can assure the Board
00:34:05.210 --> 00:34:07.100
that we held firm to align
00:34:07.100 --> 00:34:10.210
with what we as a Board have codified in rule
00:34:10.210 --> 00:34:13.240
with our other commendation categories.
00:34:13.240 --> 00:34:15.960
The standard must be commendable
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:18.520
and well above excellent.
00:34:18.520 --> 00:34:21.573
We thank all the programs that submitted applications.
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:23.780
They were all great.
00:34:23.780 --> 00:34:27.010
However, three stood out as models
00:34:27.010 --> 00:34:30.730
for authentic practice-based educator preparation
00:34:30.730 --> 00:34:34.170
that we believe rises to the expectation
00:34:34.170 --> 00:34:37.303
that this Board has reflected in the rule.
00:34:39.160 --> 00:34:41.340
With that we recommend that
00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:45.593
SBEC approve the following educator preparation programs.
00:34:46.690 --> 00:34:47.823
Urban Teachers,
00:34:49.270 --> 00:34:50.810
University of Houston
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:54.323
and Texas Tech University.
00:34:56.090 --> 00:34:59.100
In full transparency I should say
00:34:59.100 --> 00:35:03.300
that Emily Garcia is the director of Urban Teachers,
00:35:03.300 --> 00:35:04.590
and therefore did not
00:35:04.590 --> 00:35:07.450
score the programs application,
00:35:07.450 --> 00:35:10.840
participate in any dialogue regarding the programs
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.000
and did not vote on any programs
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:16.270
since she is a non-voting member.
00:35:16.270 --> 00:35:19.960
Both Ms. Emily Garcia and Dr. Alma Rodriguez
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:21.340
brought a wealth of knowledge
00:35:21.340 --> 00:35:24.840
and unique perspectives to the Committee's work
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:26.540
along with the other members
00:35:26.540 --> 00:35:30.113
and benefited from their expertise and participation.
00:35:31.470 --> 00:35:33.750
Chairman Cavazos that is my report
00:35:33.750 --> 00:35:35.500
and slate of recommended programs
00:35:35.500 --> 00:35:38.340
from the committee with your consent.
00:35:38.340 --> 00:35:41.090
I would like to encourage our other committee members
00:35:41.090 --> 00:35:43.400
the opportunity to share their thoughts
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:47.300
before returning this agenda item over to staff.
00:35:47.300 --> 00:35:48.133
Thank you.
00:35:48.133 --> 00:35:49.460
Thank you Mr. Rodriguez.
00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:51.300
Excellent work.
00:35:51.300 --> 00:35:52.570
Other members of the committee.
00:35:52.570 --> 00:35:56.030
Do you have any thoughts, any words
00:35:56.030 --> 00:35:59.350
that you'd like to share with the audience and us?
00:35:59.350 --> 00:36:01.693
Dr. Alma Rodriguez please?
00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:03.753
Thank you, Chairman Cavazos
00:36:03.753 --> 00:36:06.980
I would just like to express
00:36:06.980 --> 00:36:10.810
that we received very high quality applications
00:36:10.810 --> 00:36:15.210
from as Mr. Rodriguez mentioned 12 programs.
00:36:15.210 --> 00:36:20.530
So it was a thorough and
very challenging process
00:36:20.530 --> 00:36:21.820
that we engaged in
00:36:21.820 --> 00:36:25.950
to distinguish these three programs
00:36:25.950 --> 00:36:28.760
because we had a very good number
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.910
of very strong applications,
00:36:30.910 --> 00:36:33.740
which speaks very highly to the efforts
00:36:33.740 --> 00:36:35.120
that our educator preparation
00:36:35.120 --> 00:36:36.690
programs are going through
00:36:36.690 --> 00:36:40.739
to engage in these innovative practices
00:36:40.739 --> 00:36:41.910
to prepare the best
00:36:41.910 --> 00:36:45.390
possible teacher candidates for the field.
00:36:45.390 --> 00:36:47.803
Thank you, Dr. Rodriguez, anyone else?
00:36:49.330 --> 00:36:50.583
Jean Streepey please.
00:36:52.410 --> 00:36:54.674
Thank you, Chairman Cavazos.
00:36:54.674 --> 00:36:56.670
I would echo that as well
00:36:56.670 --> 00:36:59.410
and say thank you to everyone who submitted those.
00:36:59.410 --> 00:37:01.160
It was encouraging,
00:37:01.160 --> 00:37:03.960
it was inspiring to read all of those.
00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:06.837
Every program had great things going on
00:37:06.837 --> 00:37:08.597
and it was so inspiring to read it.
00:37:08.597 --> 00:37:11.100
And one of my favorite quotes was really
00:37:11.100 --> 00:37:13.140
about how it takes all of us.
00:37:13.140 --> 00:37:16.180
This is such a big, complicated,
00:37:16.180 --> 00:37:18.690
multifaceted issue and how it takes all
00:37:18.690 --> 00:37:20.150
of us trying new things
00:37:20.150 --> 00:37:21.590
and moving forward together.
00:37:21.590 --> 00:37:24.130
So thank you to everyone who submitted.
00:37:24.130 --> 00:37:24.963
Awesome.
00:37:24.963 --> 00:37:26.023
Anyone else?
00:37:30.380 --> 00:37:31.213
Kelvey please.
00:37:33.183 --> 00:37:34.849
Thanks. I was not a member of the committee
00:37:34.849 --> 00:37:38.390
but just wanted to thank both the TEA staff
00:37:38.390 --> 00:37:39.500
and the members of the committee
00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:40.500
for their work on this.
00:37:40.500 --> 00:37:42.580
And just think that we have a lot to learn
00:37:42.580 --> 00:37:44.300
from this process in terms
00:37:44.300 --> 00:37:48.010
of what makes really strong EPPs
00:37:48.010 --> 00:37:49.700
and really shine a light
00:37:49.700 --> 00:37:53.300
on the great programs we have across the state.
00:37:53.300 --> 00:37:55.410
And think about how that can inform our work
00:37:55.410 --> 00:37:56.860
at the agency and as a Board.
00:37:56.860 --> 00:37:58.360
So thank you so much.
00:37:58.360 --> 00:37:59.914
Thank you Kelvey.
00:37:59.914 --> 00:38:00.914
Anyone else?
00:38:03.995 --> 00:38:07.930
And this is a motion item.
00:38:07.930 --> 00:38:10.130
Any public testimony Katie?
00:38:10.130 --> 00:38:11.750
No sir.
00:38:11.750 --> 00:38:16.060
And so Board members, any questions?
00:38:16.060 --> 00:38:17.697
Dr. Dvorak please .
00:38:18.690 --> 00:38:20.670
Thank you Chairman Cavazos.
00:38:20.670 --> 00:38:25.340
Dr. Olofson, I have questions about the table
00:38:25.340 --> 00:38:29.033
that we have on page two of the item.
00:38:30.080 --> 00:38:32.240
Would you please clarify
00:38:32.240 --> 00:38:34.887
for me the performance standard?
00:38:34.887 --> 00:38:38.723
I see them in some cases it says top five,
00:38:39.810 --> 00:38:41.520
but I don't see five
00:38:42.430 --> 00:38:45.847
in the list in the tables of those EPPs
00:38:46.990 --> 00:38:50.870
that we are being presented
00:38:50.870 --> 00:38:53.313
here to receive commendations.
00:38:54.660 --> 00:38:56.860
Thank you for that Dr. Rodriguez.
00:38:56.860 --> 00:39:00.870
So as is laid out in our ASEP manual
00:39:00.870 --> 00:39:03.230
with all the calculations and processes.
00:39:03.230 --> 00:39:08.030
What we do here is we do identify those top five
00:39:08.030 --> 00:39:10.440
and those are the starting top five.
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:11.800
And then any programs
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:15.020
that have a status other than accredited.
00:39:15.020 --> 00:39:18.450
So if they are accredited one or accredited probation,
00:39:18.450 --> 00:39:20.730
or if they are under any other active sanctions
00:39:20.730 --> 00:39:24.880
from the Board we then remove them from eligibility.
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:26.030
So we find the top five
00:39:26.030 --> 00:39:28.210
and then we take anybody who's not eligible out.
00:39:28.210 --> 00:39:30.240
And what's left is left.
00:39:30.240 --> 00:39:33.330
That is the way again
that we've got it laid
00:39:33.330 --> 00:39:35.980
out in the Board
book or in the manual
00:39:35.980 --> 00:39:37.533
that was approved by the Board.
00:39:38.640 --> 00:39:41.270
Thank you Dr. Olofson that clarifies.
00:39:41.270 --> 00:39:42.103
Thank you.
00:39:42.103 --> 00:39:42.936
Any other questions?
00:39:45.040 --> 00:39:46.660
All right.
00:39:46.660 --> 00:39:48.210
Before we do the motion,
00:39:48.210 --> 00:39:50.840
I'd like to also thank the committee,
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:54.113
Mr. Rodriguez, great work as a chair.
00:39:55.110 --> 00:39:58.520
We weren't going to reveal the committee,
00:39:58.520 --> 00:40:00.690
but since we're just kidding,
00:40:00.690 --> 00:40:02.790
we are gonna reveal the committee members.
00:40:03.670 --> 00:40:06.070
This is where the important work takes place
00:40:06.070 --> 00:40:07.910
because our highest hopes.
00:40:07.910 --> 00:40:09.270
So one of them is that
00:40:09.270 --> 00:40:13.070
these three educational preparation programs
00:40:13.070 --> 00:40:15.620
illuminates the great work that they're doing
00:40:15.620 --> 00:40:19.240
and serve to inform the practice of other EPPs.
00:40:20.262 --> 00:40:22.900
And they can study that as well.
00:40:22.900 --> 00:40:24.060
I was excited to hear
00:40:24.060 --> 00:40:25.610
that there were 12 applications.
00:40:25.610 --> 00:40:28.910
And of course you have to narrow down to three
00:40:28.910 --> 00:40:30.750
and the work that you all did,
00:40:30.750 --> 00:40:34.300
the natural cutoff it's pretty tough.
00:40:34.300 --> 00:40:36.060
And so thank you, committee members.
00:40:36.060 --> 00:40:37.300
Thank you TEA staff
00:40:37.300 --> 00:40:39.620
for all the work that you do around this.
00:40:39.620 --> 00:40:42.320
But I think that this sets in motion,
00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:44.060
some very promising practices
00:40:44.060 --> 00:40:45.650
that others can look at
00:40:45.650 --> 00:40:47.130
for to inform their practice.
00:40:47.130 --> 00:40:49.240
So thank you for that.
00:40:49.240 --> 00:40:50.073
All right.
00:40:50.073 --> 00:40:51.480
So we have the motion language,
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.250
or we had it, there it is.
00:40:53.250 --> 00:40:54.280
Do we have a motion
00:40:56.670 --> 00:40:57.503
Dr. Kelly?
00:40:58.940 --> 00:40:59.773
Yes, sir.
00:41:00.690 --> 00:41:03.913
I move to approve the 2019-2020 Educator
00:41:03.913 --> 00:41:08.110
Preparation Program Commendations as presented.
00:41:08.110 --> 00:41:08.943
All right.
00:41:08.943 --> 00:41:09.776
Do I have the second?
00:41:11.210 --> 00:41:14.013
Dr. Laurie Turner second that motion.
00:41:15.420 --> 00:41:17.220
All those in favor raise your right hand.
00:41:17.220 --> 00:41:19.523
Hold it up so that the vote may be recorded.
00:41:23.310 --> 00:41:24.320
All right.
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:26.153
Those in opposition do the same.
00:41:27.060 --> 00:41:28.850
No opposition the motion carries.
00:41:28.850 --> 00:41:31.610
Thank you for your work committee members.
00:41:31.610 --> 00:41:33.440
And TEA staff.
00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:37.368
Next is EPP Commendations Committee.
00:41:37.368 --> 00:41:38.368
Dr. Olofson.
00:41:39.370 --> 00:41:41.413
Thank you so much, Dr. Cavazos.
00:41:42.340 --> 00:41:44.380
So this item provides an opportunity
00:41:44.380 --> 00:41:47.810
to reappoint the commendations committee.
00:41:47.810 --> 00:41:50.550
Also, I just wanted to take yet another moment
00:41:50.550 --> 00:41:53.673
to thank that committee for their work.
00:41:54.550 --> 00:42:01.700
It was a large task
and the level of analysis
00:42:01.700 --> 00:42:04.093
and detail and rich discussion,
00:42:06.210 --> 00:42:08.710
was really amazing
and great to just be a part
00:42:08.710 --> 00:42:10.550
of it and to be able to support it.
00:42:10.550 --> 00:42:13.750
So all that's to say, it's on the next slide.
00:42:13.750 --> 00:42:16.980
If you would like to be a member of that committee
00:42:16.980 --> 00:42:19.320
we do have the opportunity
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:22.790
for today, Dr. Cavazos SBEC Chair
00:42:22.790 --> 00:42:24.530
to appoint a new Committee Chair
00:42:24.530 --> 00:42:26.300
for this Commendations Committee
00:42:26.300 --> 00:42:30.290
and for there to be new members
00:42:30.290 --> 00:42:32.793
to the EPP Commendations Committee.
00:42:33.740 --> 00:42:35.690
Just by ways of making sure folks know
00:42:35.690 --> 00:42:37.500
what they're signing up for.
00:42:37.500 --> 00:42:38.610
One of the things
00:42:38.610 --> 00:42:40.550
that potential process improvement
00:42:40.550 --> 00:42:42.140
that came out during our discussions
00:42:42.140 --> 00:42:44.210
with this year's Commendations Committee
00:42:44.210 --> 00:42:46.430
is the opportunity for the Commendations Committee
00:42:46.430 --> 00:42:48.803
to get together in April
00:42:48.803 --> 00:42:53.290
and actually discuss the innovative EPP Commendation area.
00:42:53.290 --> 00:42:58.147
So last year this was
adopted by the manual,
00:42:58.147 --> 00:42:59.810
but this year's committee thought it would be
00:42:59.810 --> 00:43:02.442
beneficial potentially to get together in April
00:43:02.442 --> 00:43:06.550
and talk about what direction
00:43:06.550 --> 00:43:08.980
would the Board like to go as far
00:43:08.980 --> 00:43:12.100
as recognizing innovative EPPs.
00:43:12.100 --> 00:43:14.460
So we would project a schedule of meetings
00:43:14.460 --> 00:43:16.220
that would have that April meeting
00:43:16.220 --> 00:43:19.420
to give staff clear direction and guidance.
00:43:19.420 --> 00:43:21.540
And then similar to what we did this year
00:43:21.540 --> 00:43:22.669
a meeting in December
00:43:22.669 --> 00:43:27.200
to talk about the approach to scoring
00:43:27.200 --> 00:43:29.020
and the applications that have come in.
00:43:29.020 --> 00:43:31.200
And then again meeting in February
00:43:31.200 --> 00:43:33.160
as we just did yesterday to
00:43:33.160 --> 00:43:36.453
recommend those innovative EPP commendations.
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:39.490
So that's a little bit of a background
00:43:39.490 --> 00:43:42.600
what the charge and the scope of work is.
00:43:42.600 --> 00:43:43.973
And with that, Dr. Cavazos,
00:43:43.973 --> 00:43:45.300
I'll hand it back to you
00:43:45.300 --> 00:43:47.430
for the work of appointing a chair
00:43:47.430 --> 00:43:48.974
and gathering volunteers for the committee
00:43:48.974 --> 00:43:52.010
and staff will be on hand to take notes.
00:43:52.010 --> 00:43:52.950
Thank you, Mark.
00:43:52.950 --> 00:43:54.180
Those of you that are interested
00:43:54.180 --> 00:43:57.543
in serving the committee,
let's see some hands.
00:43:58.700 --> 00:44:00.010
Oh, all right.
00:44:00.010 --> 00:44:04.003
Jean Streepey, Courtney McDonald, Dr. Kelly.
00:44:05.987 --> 00:44:09.437
I've got both Dr Rodriguez and Emily Garcia.
00:44:11.730 --> 00:44:12.803
Anyone else?
00:44:13.930 --> 00:44:15.993
Oh, Shareefah Mason.
00:44:17.240 --> 00:44:18.073
Thank you.
00:44:18.073 --> 00:44:18.973
Anyone else?
00:44:20.250 --> 00:44:23.170
All right, Mark did you get all those names?
00:44:23.170 --> 00:44:26.293
So, and I appoint the chair.
00:44:27.160 --> 00:44:29.200
I don't think Dr. Kelly has enough work.
00:44:29.200 --> 00:44:30.410
So I'm gonna appoint Dr.
00:44:30.410 --> 00:44:31.243
No, I'm kidding.
00:44:31.243 --> 00:44:33.430
I'm sure you have a lot of work Dr. Kelly,
00:44:33.430 --> 00:44:34.740
but if you can help us chair
00:44:34.740 --> 00:44:36.490
this committee I'd appreciate that.
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:39.220
Yes, sir.
00:44:39.220 --> 00:44:41.480
I have big shoes to fill with Chairman Rodriguez
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:43.760
but I'll try to do my best.
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:45.320
Perfect, thank you, Dr. Kelly.
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:47.333
Mark you've got what you need.
00:44:48.670 --> 00:44:49.610
That is correct, sir, yes.
00:44:49.610 --> 00:44:51.983
Before we go ahead quickly, Dr. Olofson
00:44:51.983 --> 00:44:54.340
just go ahead and reread those names to make sure
00:44:54.340 --> 00:44:56.653
that we've got it all here.
00:44:58.683 --> 00:44:59.600
Absolutely.
00:44:59.600 --> 00:45:03.830
So I had members Ms. Streepey, Dr. Kelly,
00:45:03.830 --> 00:45:06.950
Ms. McDonald, Dr. Rodriguez, Ms. Garcia
00:45:06.950 --> 00:45:10.093
and Ms. Mason with Chair of Dr. Kelly.
00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:13.070
Was there any other members
00:45:13.070 --> 00:45:15.363
that had raised their
hand that I didn't know.
00:45:19.388 --> 00:45:21.648
Thank you for that, Ms. Rodriguez
00:45:21.648 --> 00:45:22.953
probably for the best.
00:45:22.953 --> 00:45:24.350
Thank you.
00:45:24.350 --> 00:45:27.470
And is this a motion
item or is it just...
00:45:31.070 --> 00:45:32.540
So we've already done that
00:45:32.540 --> 00:45:35.630
and we've appointed and we're ready to go.
00:45:35.630 --> 00:45:37.660
Public testimony, Katie.
00:45:37.660 --> 00:45:38.493
No, sir.
00:45:38.493 --> 00:45:39.440
There's none for this item.
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:40.273
All right.
00:45:47.133 --> 00:45:48.600
Before we go to the other item,
00:45:48.600 --> 00:45:51.150
let's give a big hand to Mr. Rodriguez
00:45:51.150 --> 00:45:54.210
for the inaugural chairing of the committee.
00:45:54.210 --> 00:45:56.780
Mr. Rodriguez thank you so much
00:45:56.780 --> 00:45:58.460
for what you've done.
00:45:58.460 --> 00:45:59.530
Put us in motion.
00:45:59.530 --> 00:46:00.550
Thank you.
00:46:00.550 --> 00:46:03.640
Item 11 EPAC Committee membership.
00:46:03.640 --> 00:46:04.540
Christie and Mark.
00:46:06.110 --> 00:46:07.040
First Chair Cavazos,
00:46:07.040 --> 00:46:10.080
I think Dr. Rodriguez may have her hand up
00:46:10.080 --> 00:46:11.325
and may have a question or-
00:46:11.325 --> 00:46:12.658
Dr. Rodriguez.
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:15.593
Thank you Ms. Pogue,
00:46:15.593 --> 00:46:17.743
but I was just clapping with the-
00:46:19.220 --> 00:46:20.313
You were clapping.
00:46:21.240 --> 00:46:22.930
I just showed my age.
00:46:22.930 --> 00:46:25.050
If I see a hand. I don't know if you're clapping,
00:46:25.050 --> 00:46:25.900
you're raising your hand
00:46:25.900 --> 00:46:28.010
but I'm like she's doing something
00:46:28.010 --> 00:46:30.440
and I got to call her out 'cause-
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:32.400
I saw her raise her hand in opposition
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:34.005
of the chair,
00:46:34.005 --> 00:46:35.514
but I didn't want to recognize that Dr. Kelly,
00:46:35.514 --> 00:46:38.860
I didn't want you to go in without opposition.
00:46:38.860 --> 00:46:41.023
Right Alma? No, she didn't do that.
00:46:41.900 --> 00:46:43.210
Christie, you're up.
00:46:43.210 --> 00:46:44.043
Yes. Chairman Cavazos.
00:46:44.043 --> 00:46:48.568
So I know we've had a lot of exciting agenda items
00:46:48.568 --> 00:46:52.740
for this meeting and I'm going to continue that.
00:46:52.740 --> 00:46:55.270
This is allowing you all to actually approve
00:46:55.270 --> 00:46:56.860
the committee membership
00:46:56.860 --> 00:46:59.333
of your ed prep Advisory Committee.
00:47:01.750 --> 00:47:04.360
So on this slide,
just as a reminder
00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:07.438
your educator preparation advisory committee is
00:47:07.438 --> 00:47:12.020
the only standing advisory committee for the SBEC.
00:47:12.020 --> 00:47:13.700
The EPAC serves at the will
00:47:13.700 --> 00:47:16.070
of the aspect to provide input
00:47:16.070 --> 00:47:18.460
and reflection on policy.
00:47:18.460 --> 00:47:20.630
That role is actually gonna be changing
00:47:20.630 --> 00:47:23.840
to where those members will actually also be sending
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:25.970
out information to the field.
00:47:25.970 --> 00:47:30.260
Just to complete that cycle of communication
00:47:30.260 --> 00:47:34.800
and since 2006, which we've presented to you in the past.
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.880
EPAC has utilized various compositions.
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.080
Always thinking about continuous ways
00:47:40.080 --> 00:47:43.840
to improve feedback loops to the Board.
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:46.710
And so on the next slide
00:47:46.710 --> 00:47:51.400
we can provide what you would as SBEC did in October
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:54.900
is directed staff to expand
00:47:54.900 --> 00:47:58.210
the EPAC to be more reflective
00:47:58.210 --> 00:48:00.830
of not only the Board's composition,
00:48:00.830 --> 00:48:04.010
but also your oversight.
00:48:04.010 --> 00:48:06.430
And so what you'll see on your left is how
00:48:06.430 --> 00:48:08.110
what we've tried to do
00:48:08.110 --> 00:48:09.980
is make it that all of those
00:48:09.980 --> 00:48:11.530
that are under the purview
00:48:11.530 --> 00:48:15.160
of SBEC can have an opportunity
00:48:15.160 --> 00:48:20.220
to have continuous input
not only into your rules,
00:48:20.220 --> 00:48:21.640
but also being able to
00:48:21.640 --> 00:48:25.880
send those communication efforts out in the field.
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:26.960
This is something that I know
00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:28.330
that Ms. Mason and I have talked
00:48:28.330 --> 00:48:31.700
about many times is allowing
00:48:31.700 --> 00:48:33.120
as many communication devices
00:48:33.120 --> 00:48:35.610
that we can to be reflected
00:48:35.610 --> 00:48:37.417
and pushed back out to the field.
00:48:37.417 --> 00:48:39.737
So what this updated structure looks like
00:48:39.737 --> 00:48:41.010
and this would begin
00:48:41.010 --> 00:48:43.450
on pages one and two of your book
00:48:43.450 --> 00:48:47.080
a PDF is 196 and 197.
00:48:47.080 --> 00:48:49.480
These are things that you all seen,
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:51.600
we're able to see in October
00:48:51.600 --> 00:48:55.130
that provided you that directive
00:48:55.130 --> 00:48:58.330
to tell us how you wanted the structure to look like.
00:48:58.330 --> 00:49:00.520
So the updated structure
00:49:00.520 --> 00:49:03.870
contains 22 members from organizations.
00:49:03.870 --> 00:49:05.070
One thing I did want to point
00:49:05.070 --> 00:49:08.940
out is that we provided you 21 organizations
00:49:08.940 --> 00:49:10.560
at the October meeting.
00:49:10.560 --> 00:49:14.400
We inadvertently left off one very important organization.
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:17.520
And that's a CSOTTE,
which is the consortium
00:49:17.520 --> 00:49:18.980
of state organizations
00:49:18.980 --> 00:49:21.890
for Texas teacher education.
00:49:21.890 --> 00:49:24.300
So with your allowance
00:49:24.300 --> 00:49:26.010
we would like to go ahead and add that
00:49:26.010 --> 00:49:29.550
which would bring 22 members from the organizations.
00:49:29.550 --> 00:49:30.747
Again, those are gonna
00:49:30.747 --> 00:49:32.230
be on page one and two of your book
00:49:32.230 --> 00:49:35.273
and 196 and 197 of the PDF.
00:49:36.860 --> 00:49:39.500
What those professional organizations mean is
00:49:39.500 --> 00:49:42.160
that the organizations got to choose.
00:49:42.160 --> 00:49:45.737
We did not tell them to send us nomination forms.
00:49:45.737 --> 00:49:48.850
And we got to choose the organization representative.
00:49:48.850 --> 00:49:52.810
They actually submitted one organization, one per person.
00:49:52.810 --> 00:49:54.050
In addition to that,
00:49:54.050 --> 00:49:57.500
the structure allows for 10 open seats,
00:49:57.500 --> 00:50:01.850
five reserve for representatives directly
00:50:01.850 --> 00:50:03.825
tied to ed prep programs.
00:50:03.825 --> 00:50:07.260
And then five non EPP representatives
00:50:07.260 --> 00:50:09.330
where at least two of those representatives
00:50:09.330 --> 00:50:11.520
are actually classroom teachers.
00:50:11.520 --> 00:50:12.480
And I say at least,
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:15.950
'cause you'll be pleased to see
00:50:15.950 --> 00:50:18.073
that we're actually recommending three.
00:50:21.820 --> 00:50:23.170
Thank you, Christie.
00:50:23.170 --> 00:50:25.830
So on the next slide,
00:50:25.830 --> 00:50:28.640
this is just a really quick snippet
00:50:28.640 --> 00:50:32.940
of the timeline and the nomination process.
00:50:32.940 --> 00:50:34.340
After the October meeting,
00:50:34.340 --> 00:50:36.280
when you all told us to get to work
00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:37.621
and do our jobs.
00:50:37.621 --> 00:50:40.410
In November what we did is we had
00:50:40.410 --> 00:50:42.710
a staff hosted a webinar call
00:50:42.710 --> 00:50:44.738
for all the professional organizations
00:50:44.738 --> 00:50:47.930
to allow them to know what their role would be.
00:50:47.930 --> 00:50:49.950
And the nomination process.
00:50:49.950 --> 00:50:54.370
December we posted and distributed the nomination form.
00:50:54.370 --> 00:50:57.260
January we received those applications
00:50:57.260 --> 00:50:59.340
and determined the recommendations.
00:50:59.340 --> 00:51:01.390
And then here we are today
00:51:01.390 --> 00:51:03.196
with you all the opportunity to go ahead
00:51:03.196 --> 00:51:05.713
and vote on that slate.
00:51:07.600 --> 00:51:09.100
So on the next slide
00:51:11.350 --> 00:51:15.370
this is something that we were so taken aback.
00:51:15.370 --> 00:51:16.868
So excited is that,
00:51:16.868 --> 00:51:21.390
we actually received 59 nomination forms.
00:51:21.390 --> 00:51:22.620
This is the first time
00:51:22.620 --> 00:51:26.000
that we've ever expanded a structure
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:27.610
and not really knowing same thing
00:51:27.610 --> 00:51:28.750
with the Commendations Committee
00:51:28.750 --> 00:51:32.160
not really knowing and having a charted path.
00:51:32.160 --> 00:51:34.630
So we were so excited
that we got the 59
00:51:34.630 --> 00:51:38.850
and they were all diverse, talented pool of nominees
00:51:38.850 --> 00:51:41.530
representing all three of those areas
00:51:41.530 --> 00:51:43.320
that we had just talked about.
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:44.750
So we have a problem,
00:51:44.750 --> 00:51:45.960
but it's a great problem to have.
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:47.570
We have more nomination forms
00:51:47.570 --> 00:51:49.550
than we do actually have seats
00:51:49.550 --> 00:51:52.600
but what that's going to afford you as a Board
00:51:52.600 --> 00:51:55.180
and we as a staff is that in the event
00:51:55.180 --> 00:51:59.000
that there is an opening a vacated seat,
00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:00.980
we will already have a talented pool
00:52:00.980 --> 00:52:03.890
of nominees to pull from.
00:52:03.890 --> 00:52:06.960
You will have the opportunity to approve those
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:09.910
but again, we don't have to start from scratch.
00:52:09.910 --> 00:52:11.290
We have more than what we need.
00:52:11.290 --> 00:52:12.580
Great problem to have.
00:52:12.580 --> 00:52:16.170
So the summary that we have
00:52:16.170 --> 00:52:21.170
for you begins on page five of your Board book
00:52:21.370 --> 00:52:26.370
page 199 of your PDF is we have 31 total members.
00:52:26.640 --> 00:52:31.640
Now we went from 26 of the current to 31 members.
00:52:32.040 --> 00:52:35.130
14 members are still currently associated
00:52:35.130 --> 00:52:36.660
with their prep programs.
00:52:36.660 --> 00:52:38.160
So as this is titled
00:52:38.160 --> 00:52:41.160
as the Educator Preparation Advisory Committee
00:52:41.160 --> 00:52:42.530
we still have a majority
00:52:42.530 --> 00:52:46.590
of our members are affiliated with ed prep programs.
00:52:46.590 --> 00:52:49.970
The ed prep programs
that we have before you
00:52:49.970 --> 00:52:53.680
we have different types, sizes, and locations,
00:52:53.680 --> 00:52:56.020
as well as a diverse group of members
00:52:56.020 --> 00:52:57.990
for the at-large seats.
00:52:57.990 --> 00:53:02.990
So all of your proposed membership are codified
00:53:05.660 --> 00:53:07.770
are reflected in your agenda item
00:53:07.770 --> 00:53:09.400
but we wanted to highlight these here.
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:10.240
Chairman Cavazos
00:53:10.240 --> 00:53:12.400
thank you so much for recommending
00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:15.147
that we go ahead and
bring these four to the Board
00:53:15.147 --> 00:53:16.892
in a more visual manner.
00:53:16.892 --> 00:53:21.060
As you will see on the professional organizations
00:53:21.060 --> 00:53:24.310
each organization was able to provide
00:53:24.310 --> 00:53:26.790
their own representative also
00:53:26.790 --> 00:53:28.130
to bring to your attention
00:53:28.130 --> 00:53:31.280
that CSOTTE organization
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:34.410
that was inadvertently left off at October
00:53:36.130 --> 00:53:39.530
has also nominated Minister Tim Sutton
00:53:39.530 --> 00:53:43.760
who is also affiliated with another organization.
00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:45.300
So here is your slate.
00:53:45.300 --> 00:53:48.020
You will see we have,
00:53:48.020 --> 00:53:50.820
not only ed prep associations
00:53:50.820 --> 00:53:54.040
we've got classroom teacher associations
00:53:54.040 --> 00:53:56.890
we've got other teacher organizations.
00:53:56.890 --> 00:53:59.410
We have other professional organizations
00:53:59.410 --> 00:54:03.443
that reflect school districts and HR.
00:54:04.770 --> 00:54:11.950
So we feel very blessed
to have this before us
00:54:11.950 --> 00:54:13.540
that will really be able to,
00:54:13.540 --> 00:54:15.898
like I said not only provide us input
00:54:15.898 --> 00:54:18.840
of what some proposals may look like.
00:54:18.840 --> 00:54:21.250
So you all can make an informed decision,
00:54:21.250 --> 00:54:24.090
but they will also be tasked with ensuring
00:54:24.090 --> 00:54:27.910
that what you all do is pushed out into the field.
00:54:27.910 --> 00:54:30.520
So the next slide will allow us to look
00:54:30.520 --> 00:54:33.480
at what those at-large seats are.
00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:34.313
So on your left,
00:54:34.313 --> 00:54:36.970
these are the ed prep at large seats.
00:54:36.970 --> 00:54:40.488
And as you will see,
as you walk down
00:54:40.488 --> 00:54:42.450
that left column is
00:54:42.450 --> 00:54:46.400
that we've got different sizes of programs,
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:51.080
types of programs and locations of those programs.
00:54:51.080 --> 00:54:53.020
So we try to make sure
00:54:53.020 --> 00:54:56.500
that we hit again, all of the things
00:54:56.500 --> 00:54:59.760
that come under your purview.
00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:02.740
On the right where the community at large,
00:55:02.740 --> 00:55:03.780
again, on the left
00:55:03.780 --> 00:55:06.750
you will see who the actual members
00:55:06.750 --> 00:55:08.770
that are being proposed.
00:55:08.770 --> 00:55:09.820
I had mentioned earlier
00:55:09.820 --> 00:55:14.653
that we have at least two seats for educators.
00:55:15.870 --> 00:55:18.220
One of the things that I really appreciate
00:55:18.220 --> 00:55:19.670
working with Dr. Olofson,
00:55:19.670 --> 00:55:23.920
who, as a practitioner had been in the field
00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:27.670
and also as he directs the ed prep team,
00:55:27.670 --> 00:55:31.220
is that the importance of not only
00:55:31.220 --> 00:55:36.140
having a diversity of the types of schools
00:55:36.140 --> 00:55:39.550
that educators will be pulled from
00:55:39.550 --> 00:55:42.070
but also what their assignments are.
00:55:42.070 --> 00:55:43.990
So just to quickly point out
00:55:43.990 --> 00:55:45.970
we have an English teacher in Cheer Coach.
00:55:45.970 --> 00:55:49.808
Which I think should
get a reward on its own.
00:55:49.808 --> 00:55:52.460
But then also an art teacher who is
00:55:52.460 --> 00:55:54.400
at a charter school bilingual teacher.
00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:59.220
So again having this deep
00:55:59.220 --> 00:56:01.780
of a pool is extremely exciting.
00:56:01.780 --> 00:56:05.190
And then our nonprofit educational organizations
00:56:06.520 --> 00:56:09.350
with commit partnership and good reasons Houston
00:56:09.350 --> 00:56:10.870
we think will really add a lot
00:56:10.870 --> 00:56:14.343
of value to future conversations moving forward.
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:17.750
So on the next slide,
00:56:17.750 --> 00:56:20.154
what our next steps would be,
00:56:20.154 --> 00:56:23.180
if you all indulge us in approving the slate
00:56:23.180 --> 00:56:26.870
is that we will send out two emails.
00:56:26.870 --> 00:56:30.550
One would be to those approved EPAC members
00:56:30.550 --> 00:56:32.445
to start scheduling the meetings
00:56:32.445 --> 00:56:36.040
and start allowing them to start crafting
00:56:36.040 --> 00:56:39.410
what a viable committee is gonna look like.
00:56:39.410 --> 00:56:41.160
And then the second one would be
00:56:41.160 --> 00:56:43.750
for the nominees that were not selected
00:56:45.679 --> 00:56:49.040
for this slate, but for future opportunities.
00:56:50.260 --> 00:56:52.820
And with that, Dr. Cavazos
00:56:52.820 --> 00:56:54.585
I will hand that back over to you.
00:56:54.585 --> 00:56:56.898
Happy to answer any questions
00:56:56.898 --> 00:56:59.570
we are having a problem
00:56:59.570 --> 00:57:01.740
containing our excitement with this.
00:57:01.740 --> 00:57:02.610
But again, I think
00:57:02.610 --> 00:57:04.633
it's the theme for the entire meeting.
00:57:06.410 --> 00:57:07.670
Well, I wanna thank you
00:57:07.670 --> 00:57:11.909
for bringing forward this idea to expand the membership.
00:57:11.909 --> 00:57:14.328
I think so it is a total of 32 now.
00:57:14.328 --> 00:57:15.161
Is that correct?
00:57:15.161 --> 00:57:16.761
Is what you're bringing forward?
00:57:17.970 --> 00:57:20.110
It's gonna be 31
00:57:20.110 --> 00:57:23.500
because one person is representing two-
00:57:23.500 --> 00:57:24.333
Organizations.
00:57:24.333 --> 00:57:25.393
Organizations, yes, sir.
00:57:26.770 --> 00:57:27.603
All right.
00:57:27.603 --> 00:57:28.436
Are there any questions
00:57:28.436 --> 00:57:30.250
from SBEC or public testimony.
00:57:30.250 --> 00:57:32.610
Katie any public testimony?
00:57:32.610 --> 00:57:34.640
No Sir, none for this item.
00:57:34.640 --> 00:57:35.473
Thank you.
00:57:35.473 --> 00:57:36.306
And questions.
00:57:36.306 --> 00:57:37.900
I saw Dr. Rodriguez.
00:57:40.650 --> 00:57:41.780
Thank you, Chairman Cavazos.
00:57:41.780 --> 00:57:43.700
So I have a question
00:57:43.700 --> 00:57:48.220
on table two EPP at large positions
00:57:48.220 --> 00:57:51.170
that's on page seven of the item.
00:57:51.170 --> 00:57:55.640
And I think it's probably a couple
00:57:55.640 --> 00:58:00.223
of slides before what we're seeing right now.
00:58:02.510 --> 00:58:07.510
There, so the table, the EPP at-large seats
00:58:08.220 --> 00:58:10.450
so there are five seats.
00:58:10.450 --> 00:58:14.842
And if I am understanding this correctly
00:58:14.842 --> 00:58:16.090
out of the five
00:58:16.090 --> 00:58:19.867
only one is a university-based EPP?
00:58:20.970 --> 00:58:24.450
And I wonder, my question is if that is proportional
00:58:24.450 --> 00:58:29.450
to the number of university based EPPs
00:58:31.660 --> 00:58:36.400
as compared to alternative
00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:40.470
or other non-university based EPP?
00:58:40.470 --> 00:58:43.080
That is a great question, Dr. Rodriguez,
00:58:43.080 --> 00:58:44.860
and I'm gonna take the first swing at this
00:58:44.860 --> 00:58:47.378
and I know Dr.Olofson will we'll jump in
00:58:47.378 --> 00:58:50.833
to correct anything that I may misspeak on.
00:58:51.730 --> 00:58:53.670
One of the things that we looked at
00:58:53.670 --> 00:58:56.490
and we weighed and that is a great question,
00:58:56.490 --> 00:58:57.770
is that if you go back
00:58:57.770 --> 00:59:00.030
and look at the professional organizations.
00:59:00.030 --> 00:59:02.080
Most of those organizations
00:59:02.080 --> 00:59:06.390
that are reflective of
EPPs are also individuals
00:59:06.390 --> 00:59:09.010
that are connected to universities.
00:59:09.010 --> 00:59:12.600
One of the concerns that was brought forth
00:59:12.600 --> 00:59:16.410
from the the current Ed Prep Advisory Committee is
00:59:16.410 --> 00:59:18.070
that they were concerned
00:59:18.070 --> 00:59:20.090
that alternative certification programs
00:59:20.090 --> 00:59:25.090
would not represented well enough in volume.
00:59:26.540 --> 00:59:30.310
And so what we try to do is provide...
00:59:31.930 --> 00:59:35.660
One of them is with our ESC
00:59:35.660 --> 00:59:39.050
for our educated service centers.
00:59:39.050 --> 00:59:41.270
We have the excellence in teaching,
00:59:41.270 --> 00:59:43.020
which is regionally one
00:59:43.020 --> 00:59:48.020
of our very important South Texas ed prep programs.
00:59:49.580 --> 00:59:53.950
And then I teach being with sheer volume.
00:59:53.950 --> 00:59:56.090
And so what we were trying to do
00:59:56.090 --> 00:59:58.400
is really not balance out these five
00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:01.310
as being from university-based
01:00:01.310 --> 01:00:06.640
and alternative certification,
but to ensure that
01:00:06.640 --> 01:00:10.010
there was a good collective effort of representation.
01:00:10.010 --> 01:00:14.240
So iteach is a lot online, very large district.
01:00:14.240 --> 01:00:18.130
We have the John Hopkins University Urban teachers,
01:00:18.130 --> 01:00:20.090
partnership on that post-bacc.
01:00:20.090 --> 01:00:23.810
Our regional service centers excellence in teaching
01:00:23.810 --> 01:00:26.910
with the proximity where that is in Texas.
01:00:26.910 --> 01:00:30.560
And then also again, having it university based.
01:00:30.560 --> 01:00:32.570
So that was what our thinking was,
01:00:32.570 --> 01:00:36.690
but we are happy to provide any input.
01:00:36.690 --> 01:00:38.577
And Dr. Olofson was there anything
01:00:38.577 --> 01:00:41.363
that you would like to add to that?
01:00:42.540 --> 01:00:44.250
Thanks so much for that Ms. Pogue,
01:00:44.250 --> 01:00:46.420
just right there
what you had noted
01:00:46.420 --> 01:00:48.790
that many of the folks
01:00:48.790 --> 01:00:50.360
who are representing organizations
01:00:50.360 --> 01:00:51.310
wear a couple of hats
01:00:51.310 --> 01:00:53.820
they not only will be representing their organization
01:00:53.820 --> 01:00:55.510
but they also currently are part
01:00:55.510 --> 01:00:58.410
of a university-based educator preparation program.
01:00:58.410 --> 01:01:00.620
And so as we looked at those at-large seats
01:01:00.620 --> 01:01:03.500
we tried to think about making sure
01:01:03.500 --> 01:01:05.390
that again has it been expressed
01:01:05.390 --> 01:01:09.250
as one sorta caution from the current EPAC
01:01:09.250 --> 01:01:10.083
about making sure
01:01:10.083 --> 01:01:11.670
that the alternative certification
01:01:11.670 --> 01:01:14.560
programs retain representation here.
01:01:14.560 --> 01:01:17.820
I would know from the
professional organizations
01:01:17.820 --> 01:01:19.970
we've got folks who are currently working
01:01:19.970 --> 01:01:23.440
at Texas Christian, Texas Wesleyan, Texas Women's
01:01:24.750 --> 01:01:29.530
Texas A&M commerce, Angelo State, Howard Payne University.
01:01:29.530 --> 01:01:32.570
So we do have a number of the, again
01:01:32.570 --> 01:01:35.680
the traditional undergraduate EPPs represented
01:01:35.680 --> 01:01:36.740
by memberships that are coming
01:01:36.740 --> 01:01:40.513
from those professional organizations.
01:01:46.216 --> 01:01:48.003
Thank you for the clarification.
01:01:49.170 --> 01:01:51.890
And so as I was expressing earlier,
01:01:51.890 --> 01:01:55.030
my question has to do with proportion.
01:01:55.030 --> 01:01:58.490
So as you explained,
01:01:58.490 --> 01:02:02.323
there's other university-based representatives
01:02:03.960 --> 01:02:05.790
because of the professional
01:02:05.790 --> 01:02:08.090
organizations that they represent.
01:02:08.090 --> 01:02:13.090
And so I still wonder if the proportion overall, is there?
01:02:17.500 --> 01:02:19.080
Because I completely recognize
01:02:19.080 --> 01:02:23.760
the need for all EPPs to be represented.
01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:26.260
And in my question is in regards to proportion
01:02:26.260 --> 01:02:29.870
of the number of university-based
01:02:29.870 --> 01:02:34.793
versus alternative EPPs that we have in the state.
01:02:37.008 --> 01:02:38.966
Thank you.Mark.
01:02:38.966 --> 01:02:43.320
So it's a little bit of a tricky question.
01:02:43.320 --> 01:02:46.978
Because many of our universities
01:02:46.978 --> 01:02:50.860
also house an alternative certification program.
01:02:50.860 --> 01:02:53.780
So we don't have sort of a direct
01:02:56.150 --> 01:02:59.700
because as you know that many of them
01:02:59.700 --> 01:03:00.760
not only have an undergrad
01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:02.440
but also have that all cert.
01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:04.260
So even folks coming
01:03:04.260 --> 01:03:06.660
from those situations potentially
01:03:07.555 --> 01:03:09.950
we'll have multiple lenses available to them
01:03:11.250 --> 01:03:12.510
as they view these issues
01:03:12.510 --> 01:03:14.340
and surface these issues.
01:03:14.340 --> 01:03:17.030
Also as I think we've shared
01:03:17.030 --> 01:03:18.910
about half of the candidates
01:03:18.910 --> 01:03:20.480
that are newly prepared come
01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:23.090
out of an alternative certification program.
01:03:23.090 --> 01:03:24.640
So there's, again, a couple
01:03:24.640 --> 01:03:26.600
of ways for us to think about proportionality.
01:03:26.600 --> 01:03:28.210
Is it about number of programs?
01:03:28.210 --> 01:03:29.860
Or is it about candidates here?
01:03:29.860 --> 01:03:34.660
And so we did try to have a balanced,
01:03:34.660 --> 01:03:38.470
including not only university-based preparation programs
01:03:38.470 --> 01:03:40.710
that also have alternative certification programs,
01:03:40.710 --> 01:03:41.543
but also those
01:03:41.543 --> 01:03:44.133
freestanding alternative certification programs.
01:03:45.930 --> 01:03:48.430
So that's, again, a little bit
01:03:48.430 --> 01:03:52.115
about where we're
at but we are happy to
01:03:52.115 --> 01:03:53.798
if there's further breakdowns
01:03:53.798 --> 01:03:56.098
that we can provide we're happy to provide it.
01:03:57.660 --> 01:03:58.550
Thank you very much.
01:03:58.550 --> 01:04:00.233
I appreciate that clarification.
01:04:01.390 --> 01:04:02.883
Dr. Lofters.
01:04:06.627 --> 01:04:09.380
Did you have a question Dr.Lofters?
01:04:12.281 --> 01:04:13.114
No.
01:04:13.114 --> 01:04:13.947
Jean Streepey.
01:04:16.080 --> 01:04:19.120
Yes. Thank you, Chairman Cavazos
01:04:19.120 --> 01:04:21.670
Mr. Olofson could you tell me,
01:04:21.670 --> 01:04:23.370
or explain about the
01:04:23.370 --> 01:04:28.160
who rolls off in 2022 and the terms for 2023?
01:04:29.230 --> 01:04:30.300
Is it about half?
01:04:30.300 --> 01:04:33.040
It looked like about 40% of the at-large.
01:04:33.040 --> 01:04:35.593
So I was trying to kind of figure that out.
01:04:44.689 --> 01:04:47.022
(crosstalk)
01:04:48.507 --> 01:04:50.007
Thank you for that question.
01:04:50.007 --> 01:04:52.051
Christie, did you, I know that you
01:04:52.051 --> 01:04:55.090
and your group had also taken a look at that.
01:04:55.090 --> 01:04:58.900
So if you can go back and on your Board book,
01:04:58.900 --> 01:05:03.950
starting on page five,
and then for your PDF,
01:05:03.950 --> 01:05:05.970
I believe in page 199.
01:05:05.970 --> 01:05:10.330
What we did is we had split it up 50/50.
01:05:10.330 --> 01:05:15.330
Half of the members would have a two year term.
01:05:15.830 --> 01:05:19.880
The other half would have a three-year term.
01:05:19.880 --> 01:05:23.030
And because of the 10 at large,
01:05:23.030 --> 01:05:24.610
where we have five and five
01:05:24.610 --> 01:05:26.780
what we decided to go ahead and do
01:05:26.780 --> 01:05:27.920
for the first time out
01:05:27.920 --> 01:05:32.150
is have just two rolling out in two years
01:05:32.150 --> 01:05:34.920
and three rolling out in the three.
01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:37.070
So we went ahead and we didn't
01:05:37.070 --> 01:05:40.520
there was no way to really split 50/50 on five and five.
01:05:40.520 --> 01:05:43.347
So we went ahead and did two and three on those.
01:05:43.347 --> 01:05:47.240
And then on your professional organizations
01:05:47.240 --> 01:05:48.890
we took the remaining of those.
01:05:48.890 --> 01:05:50.750
And we split those in half
01:05:50.750 --> 01:05:53.000
that way just to have some continuity
01:05:53.840 --> 01:05:57.340
but especially with our at-large positions.
01:05:57.340 --> 01:06:00.900
And a lot of these will be new to the process.
01:06:00.900 --> 01:06:01.780
We wanted to have
01:06:01.780 --> 01:06:06.610
some stability here for those seats.
01:06:06.610 --> 01:06:09.707
So it is split 50/50 across
01:06:09.707 --> 01:06:13.660
those members of the total membership.
01:06:13.660 --> 01:06:16.432
But for the at-large we went ahead
01:06:16.432 --> 01:06:19.500
and provided a longer rollout
01:06:19.500 --> 01:06:22.140
with the three years on both of those categories
01:06:22.140 --> 01:06:25.340
and then split the others for the representatives.
01:06:25.340 --> 01:06:26.840
Does that makes sense, Ms. Streepey?
01:06:26.840 --> 01:06:27.673
It does.
01:06:27.673 --> 01:06:28.506
And it sounds very thoughtful.
01:06:28.506 --> 01:06:30.205
So thank you very much.
01:06:30.205 --> 01:06:31.038
Thank you.
01:06:31.038 --> 01:06:31.940
That's a good question.
01:06:31.940 --> 01:06:33.460
Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez
01:06:33.460 --> 01:06:34.410
you had a question.
01:06:36.493 --> 01:06:37.943
Yes, sir.
01:06:37.943 --> 01:06:40.505
I just want to do applaud the discussion
01:06:40.505 --> 01:06:42.670
on this agenda item,
01:06:42.670 --> 01:06:45.313
particularly Dr. Rodriguez point.
01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:47.570
I think it's at the heart
01:06:48.652 --> 01:06:53.652
of our discussion is the diversity, the equity inclusion.
01:06:55.500 --> 01:06:58.320
And more recently I think,
01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:01.951
the belonging of educator prep programs,
01:07:01.951 --> 01:07:05.500
but also teachers and
whether or not the programs
01:07:05.500 --> 01:07:09.720
are university based or alternatively based
01:07:10.560 --> 01:07:15.560
if her question is are university based programs
01:07:16.990 --> 01:07:19.860
by first degree represented in this committee?
01:07:19.860 --> 01:07:22.750
Or by alternative certification programs
01:07:22.750 --> 01:07:25.900
that are related to a university by extension,
01:07:25.900 --> 01:07:27.610
perhaps by second degree.
01:07:27.610 --> 01:07:30.100
I think these are all excellent discussions
01:07:30.100 --> 01:07:33.230
that our Board should continue to always bring
01:07:33.230 --> 01:07:34.630
to the forefront so
01:07:34.630 --> 01:07:37.190
that all members feel that they belong.
01:07:37.190 --> 01:07:38.023
Which is not something
01:07:38.023 --> 01:07:39.920
I don't think you can legislate.
01:07:39.920 --> 01:07:41.290
It just has to be a sense
01:07:41.290 --> 01:07:43.440
that folks feel that it's fair.
01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:46.620
But the question is well placed and raised
01:07:46.620 --> 01:07:49.460
and I just applaud her efforts
01:07:49.460 --> 01:07:51.230
and other efforts on the members
01:07:51.230 --> 01:07:52.860
of the Board to keep bringing
01:07:52.860 --> 01:07:57.402
up issues of diversity, equity and inclusion.
01:07:57.402 --> 01:07:58.793
Thank you.
01:07:58.793 --> 01:08:00.360
Thank you sir.
01:08:00.360 --> 01:08:02.473
Other questions or comments?
01:08:03.900 --> 01:08:05.123
Yes, Emily please.
01:08:07.423 --> 01:08:09.280
Thank you, Dr. Cavazos.
01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:11.780
I have a quick question for my own learning.
01:08:11.780 --> 01:08:14.450
I think I am, first of all just as preface,
01:08:14.450 --> 01:08:16.150
super excited to see Teach Plus
01:08:16.150 --> 01:08:17.860
represented by Kevin Malonson.
01:08:17.860 --> 01:08:20.440
I'm a huge fan of the work of Teach Plus
01:08:20.440 --> 01:08:23.060
and elevating the voice of teachers
01:08:23.060 --> 01:08:24.227
while encouraging them to be in the classroom
01:08:24.227 --> 01:08:26.480
and giving them a bigger platform
01:08:26.480 --> 01:08:28.603
for leadership from the classroom.
01:08:30.180 --> 01:08:31.180
I'm wondering though
01:08:32.410 --> 01:08:33.800
how Teach Plus is represented
01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:35.300
as a professional organization
01:08:36.150 --> 01:08:39.777
versus at large like the nonprofit professional
01:08:45.370 --> 01:08:46.710
organizations commit in good reason.
01:08:46.710 --> 01:08:48.340
I know their work is not similar,
01:08:48.340 --> 01:08:50.780
but how is Teach Plus
on one versus the other
01:08:50.780 --> 01:08:52.550
which I'm just curious as to how
01:08:52.550 --> 01:08:54.440
that type of decision was made.
01:08:54.440 --> 01:08:56.100
It's Teach Plus stood out to me
01:08:56.100 --> 01:08:57.890
among the professional organizations
01:08:57.890 --> 01:08:59.823
is kind of one of these things.
01:08:59.823 --> 01:09:01.770
Isn't like the others
that I would love to know
01:09:01.770 --> 01:09:04.020
the thought process behind that.
01:09:04.020 --> 01:09:05.390
Not from a critical perspective,
01:09:05.390 --> 01:09:08.180
genuinely just wanna understand it better.
01:09:08.180 --> 01:09:11.010
So I can take a first stab at that.
01:09:11.010 --> 01:09:14.110
Teach Plus has been one of those organizations
01:09:14.110 --> 01:09:17.450
that has been at the forefront aligned
01:09:17.450 --> 01:09:20.560
with our teacher organizations.
01:09:20.560 --> 01:09:22.780
And it's an organization
01:09:22.780 --> 01:09:24.900
that has been very supportive
01:09:24.900 --> 01:09:29.270
and active with this Board
on every policy move,
01:09:29.270 --> 01:09:32.357
as it relates to our educators.
01:09:32.357 --> 01:09:33.340
And one of the things
01:09:33.340 --> 01:09:36.740
that they had requested several years back
01:09:36.740 --> 01:09:38.117
is to be(screen freeze).
01:09:42.540 --> 01:09:44.530
Christie has frozen up, Mark,
01:09:44.530 --> 01:09:45.923
you gonna jump in here?
01:09:51.080 --> 01:09:55.003
Yes. So having a little bit less
01:09:57.260 --> 01:10:00.200
of the background related to Teach Plus,
01:10:00.200 --> 01:10:02.680
but I think that the along the lines here is
01:10:02.680 --> 01:10:03.513
that there's the alignment
01:10:03.513 --> 01:10:05.113
with the teacher organizations.
01:10:05.113 --> 01:10:06.420
And, one thing Ms. Garcia
01:10:06.420 --> 01:10:07.980
that I would bring forward is
01:10:07.980 --> 01:10:12.600
that the members for the at-large seats
01:10:12.600 --> 01:10:17.600
that do happen to be part of community organizations
01:10:17.890 --> 01:10:20.200
those seats weren't specifically set aside for those
01:10:20.200 --> 01:10:21.380
that was as we were evaluating
01:10:21.380 --> 01:10:24.460
the at-large seats kind of across the Board,
01:10:24.460 --> 01:10:25.780
that those were things
01:10:25.780 --> 01:10:27.563
as we were trying to balance again,
01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:31.910
diversity, regionality, perspectives,
01:10:31.910 --> 01:10:32.930
all those pieces
01:10:32.930 --> 01:10:34.700
that's really kind of where we came from
01:10:34.700 --> 01:10:37.210
as far as bringing those recommendations
01:10:37.210 --> 01:10:38.980
as part of that at-large slate.
01:10:38.980 --> 01:10:41.527
And I do hope that Christie's able to join (crosstalk).
01:10:41.527 --> 01:10:43.860
Are they able scan the folks
01:10:43.860 --> 01:10:47.790
on the professional organization slate return
01:10:47.790 --> 01:10:50.780
after their two years to serve longer?
01:10:50.780 --> 01:10:51.790
That's a great question.
01:10:51.790 --> 01:10:55.040
So that's gonna be the decision-making
01:10:55.040 --> 01:10:57.470
of the professional organization.
01:10:57.470 --> 01:11:01.260
So we've got kind of these terms,
01:11:01.260 --> 01:11:03.560
but then upon the completion of these terms,
01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:05.840
we will return to the professional organizations
01:11:05.840 --> 01:11:07.840
pretty much saying, "Hey who you got?"
01:11:07.840 --> 01:11:10.060
But no, if they want to re nominate
01:11:11.050 --> 01:11:14.340
there's not a term limit type of mechanism
01:11:14.340 --> 01:11:19.010
that has been scoped at this point for this committee.
01:11:19.010 --> 01:11:21.250
Great, I recognize a lot of names
01:11:21.250 --> 01:11:23.200
on this list and I am super excited
01:11:24.160 --> 01:11:25.320
with the organizations
01:11:25.320 --> 01:11:26.650
and the people that are represented.
01:11:26.650 --> 01:11:28.440
It's an incredible body of talent.
01:11:28.440 --> 01:11:30.090
So really excited
01:11:30.090 --> 01:11:32.430
to have this group informing our work.
01:11:32.430 --> 01:11:33.680
Thank you for everything you guys did
01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:35.720
to cultivate this group
01:11:35.720 --> 01:11:37.210
and bring them into the fold.
01:11:37.210 --> 01:11:39.130
It's gonna be powerful, I believe.
01:11:41.660 --> 01:11:43.023
Any other questions?
01:11:45.710 --> 01:11:46.869
All right.
01:11:46.869 --> 01:11:48.520
So before we go to the motion
01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:50.680
I'd like to make a couple of comments myself.
01:11:50.680 --> 01:11:54.590
I want to reiterate Dr. Rodriguez's comment
01:11:54.590 --> 01:11:58.173
and Jose's comment, Christie and Mark.
01:11:59.170 --> 01:12:00.430
When you all came
01:12:00.430 --> 01:12:03.640
with the idea to expand the committee
01:12:04.850 --> 01:12:08.170
and we want it to be an important part of our work
01:12:08.170 --> 01:12:11.823
and they advise this SBEC group.
01:12:13.230 --> 01:12:16.030
I think that you all came
01:12:16.994 --> 01:12:19.489
at this meeting and are saying,
01:12:19.489 --> 01:12:21.060
when we went back, we found
01:12:21.060 --> 01:12:24.700
that we missed out on one person or one organization
01:12:24.700 --> 01:12:27.470
and we'd like for consideration for that.
01:12:27.470 --> 01:12:29.653
And so under that same thought,
01:12:31.465 --> 01:12:33.650
I would like for you all to go back
01:12:33.650 --> 01:12:36.050
and do a deep dive on the process
01:12:36.050 --> 01:12:40.283
by which you will bring in forward the EPAC membership.
01:12:41.560 --> 01:12:44.530
And to ensure that the concerns
01:12:44.530 --> 01:12:47.000
or the questions that Dr. Rodriguez asked
01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:50.040
and Jose has restated
01:12:50.040 --> 01:12:53.110
that we really are sensitive to that.
01:12:53.110 --> 01:12:56.291
Because we want this group
01:12:56.291 --> 01:12:59.800
to do the important work of advising us.
01:12:59.800 --> 01:13:03.780
So just because we may approve it today
01:13:03.780 --> 01:13:05.640
doesn't mean that we kind of amend it
01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:06.763
in a future meeting.
01:13:07.760 --> 01:13:10.600
The second thing is I am a little...
01:13:10.600 --> 01:13:13.710
I noticed that in the at-large membership
01:13:14.770 --> 01:13:17.380
it's very Dallas centric,
01:13:17.380 --> 01:13:20.120
very focused in the Dallas area.
01:13:20.120 --> 01:13:24.480
And so I wonder, how did that come about?
01:13:24.480 --> 01:13:28.120
And are we really geographically representing
01:13:28.120 --> 01:13:29.650
the entire State or not?
01:13:29.650 --> 01:13:30.967
And you might say,
01:13:30.967 --> 01:13:33.572
"Well, if you look at organizations
01:13:33.572 --> 01:13:35.760
one through five over here
01:13:35.760 --> 01:13:38.910
they're actually in this area and so forth."
01:13:38.910 --> 01:13:41.210
What I'm encouraging is go back
01:13:41.210 --> 01:13:43.690
and do a deep dive into this membership
01:13:43.690 --> 01:13:48.210
and make certain that we look at it
01:13:48.210 --> 01:13:50.210
through an equity lens.
01:13:50.210 --> 01:13:52.980
That we look at it through diversity lens,
01:13:52.980 --> 01:13:54.390
and that we also
01:13:54.390 --> 01:13:58.790
are representing that there's not one group
01:13:58.790 --> 01:14:02.640
but yet there's 50 University prep programs.
01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:07.063
And this one person is representing three programs.
01:14:08.520 --> 01:14:13.520
And so I don't have a concern moving forward
01:14:13.540 --> 01:14:16.320
and allowing the work to begin,
01:14:16.320 --> 01:14:19.000
but I do want to make clear
01:14:19.000 --> 01:14:24.000
that you all have the freedom to go back
01:14:24.550 --> 01:14:28.240
and do a deep dive and
pull out the Texas map
01:14:28.240 --> 01:14:31.970
and say "If we look at it from my equity lens
01:14:32.908 --> 01:14:35.940
and make sure that we capture
01:14:35.940 --> 01:14:38.520
as much of the voice says out there."
01:14:38.520 --> 01:14:42.270
Then that's when we're gonna have a rich group
01:14:42.270 --> 01:14:43.937
that's going to be advising us.
01:14:43.937 --> 01:14:45.340
Not to say anything
01:14:45.340 --> 01:14:47.410
of the membership you're bringing forward.
01:14:47.410 --> 01:14:51.100
However, today we landed on 32 members
01:14:51.100 --> 01:14:53.370
tomorrow we may land on different members.
01:14:53.370 --> 01:14:56.480
The other is that when you look at your matrix
01:14:56.480 --> 01:14:58.770
and you really do a well thought out,
01:14:58.770 --> 01:15:00.113
deep dive into that.
01:15:01.930 --> 01:15:05.110
I think what Jean asked,
well, how many roll off
01:15:05.110 --> 01:15:08.780
and how many roll back on after a year.
01:15:08.780 --> 01:15:10.880
And so what is that gonna look like?
01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:13.100
And so when we set up a structure,
01:15:13.100 --> 01:15:15.620
we wanna make sure
that we're pretty diverse
01:15:15.620 --> 01:15:17.990
and that we look at it
01:15:19.270 --> 01:15:20.900
where it's proportional also.
01:15:20.900 --> 01:15:23.260
Because I do agree with Dr. Rodriguez,
01:15:23.260 --> 01:15:26.000
that there is value to that as well.
01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:31.000
And so, however, this is a great stab at it first time.
01:15:31.360 --> 01:15:33.210
And, I appreciate all the work
01:15:33.210 --> 01:15:34.380
that you all have done
01:15:34.380 --> 01:15:36.360
and I appreciate what you're doing.
01:15:36.360 --> 01:15:39.000
However, we are very interested
01:15:39.000 --> 01:15:42.210
in this item coming again before us,
01:15:42.210 --> 01:15:44.100
and kind of giving us
01:15:44.941 --> 01:15:46.880
another review of what you found.
01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:49.250
And is there some changes that we need to make
01:15:49.250 --> 01:15:50.700
or expand the membership?
01:15:50.700 --> 01:15:53.170
Or in retrospect, we should've done this.
01:15:53.170 --> 01:15:56.250
And because this is a continuous learning
01:15:56.250 --> 01:15:58.223
it's always a great thing.
01:15:59.080 --> 01:16:01.320
And so I wanna put that out
01:16:01.320 --> 01:16:04.080
because I think that the Board has brought
01:16:04.080 --> 01:16:05.560
up some great points
01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:09.710
that I think that merit another thorough review
01:16:09.710 --> 01:16:11.140
of this membership makeup.
01:16:11.140 --> 01:16:13.730
So, all right.
01:16:13.730 --> 01:16:14.870
Having said that,
01:16:14.870 --> 01:16:18.290
and I know that all of you tuned me out, but that's okay.
01:16:18.290 --> 01:16:19.970
I mentioned a few of you by name,
01:16:19.970 --> 01:16:21.920
just so that you all will be listening.
01:16:23.100 --> 01:16:25.280
I'm going to ask anyone ready
01:16:25.280 --> 01:16:27.130
to make the motion to move forward
01:16:27.130 --> 01:16:28.803
with this committee as presented.
01:16:30.730 --> 01:16:32.253
Courtney McDonald please.
01:16:34.740 --> 01:16:37.367
I move that we approve
01:16:37.367 --> 01:16:39.330
the educator preparation advisory
01:16:39.330 --> 01:16:41.540
committee membership as presented.
01:16:41.540 --> 01:16:42.770
Thank you, Courtney.
01:16:42.770 --> 01:16:44.410
Do I have a second?
01:16:44.410 --> 01:16:45.860
Jean Streepey, please.
01:16:45.860 --> 01:16:47.157
She is seconding.
01:16:48.100 --> 01:16:48.933
All right.
01:16:48.933 --> 01:16:49.766
All those in favor.
01:16:49.766 --> 01:16:51.590
Raise your right hand
and hold it up high so
01:16:51.590 --> 01:16:54.123
that we can record the vote.
01:16:56.960 --> 01:16:58.110
All right.
01:16:58.110 --> 01:16:59.953
Any opposition do the same.
01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:02.490
There's no opposition.
01:17:02.490 --> 01:17:04.080
The motion carries.
01:17:04.080 --> 01:17:05.860
Moving on to item number 12.
01:17:05.860 --> 01:17:07.700
Thank you, Mark and Christie
01:17:07.700 --> 01:17:12.073
for all the great work
revisions Revision to BPOP.
01:17:12.073 --> 01:17:14.323
I mean, Board operating procedure.
01:17:15.420 --> 01:17:18.043
Well you all need to spell it out, Marilyn.
01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:21.390
Board operating policies and procedures.
01:17:21.390 --> 01:17:22.340
Christie you're on.
01:17:23.224 --> 01:17:24.380
All right Chair Cavazos.
01:17:24.380 --> 01:17:27.160
So I'm sorry I froze.
01:17:27.160 --> 01:17:27.993
It's one of those things.
01:17:27.993 --> 01:17:30.110
I don't know if this happens to y'all
01:17:30.110 --> 01:17:34.730
but that's when I say my best line is when I'm frozen.
01:17:34.730 --> 01:17:39.593
So if I freeze kind of
someone just let me know.
01:17:40.820 --> 01:17:42.390
We were told when you froze
01:17:42.390 --> 01:17:44.060
that Katie Allen controls all that,
01:17:44.060 --> 01:17:44.893
and she just didn't care
01:17:44.893 --> 01:17:47.220
for what you were gonna say and so she-
01:17:47.220 --> 01:17:49.220
She can roll this out a lot faster than me.
01:17:49.220 --> 01:17:51.470
I'm sure y'all are tired of hearing my voice.
01:17:52.950 --> 01:17:54.130
So what this item does
01:17:54.130 --> 01:17:56.940
in the next slide is it allows you to do two things.
01:17:56.940 --> 01:18:00.171
It allows you to satisfy your annual review
01:18:00.171 --> 01:18:04.540
of your SBEC Board operating policies and procedures.
01:18:04.540 --> 01:18:07.810
While it also allows you to provide revisions
01:18:07.810 --> 01:18:12.210
that reflect current SBEC decisions and practices.
01:18:12.210 --> 01:18:15.660
So on the next slide
we will go over quickly
01:18:15.660 --> 01:18:19.700
where your revisions are.
01:18:19.700 --> 01:18:24.700
It starts on page 13 of the book, page 216 of the PDF.
01:18:24.900 --> 01:18:28.500
This is regarding your committee structure.
01:18:28.500 --> 01:18:31.490
So what we've done is
provided some proposed texts
01:18:31.490 --> 01:18:33.219
that reflect some recent
01:18:33.219 --> 01:18:36.340
Board decisions and current practices.
01:18:36.340 --> 01:18:38.490
Your legislative committee
we are recommending
01:18:38.490 --> 01:18:39.920
that you strike this language
01:18:39.920 --> 01:18:41.700
because the Board several years ago,
01:18:41.700 --> 01:18:44.710
decided to move away from the committee structure
01:18:44.710 --> 01:18:46.690
and allow the Board as the whole
01:18:46.690 --> 01:18:49.560
to receive all those pertinent updates.
01:18:49.560 --> 01:18:54.560
The second thing is on the EPP Commendations Committee
01:18:54.570 --> 01:18:58.300
that you all established at February of 2020.
01:18:58.300 --> 01:18:59.836
This will add that committee
01:18:59.836 --> 01:19:03.818
as you're establishing this committee for this Board.
01:19:03.818 --> 01:19:06.063
And then the third,
what we just talked
01:19:06.063 --> 01:19:08.720
about is on your Ed Prep Advisory Committee
01:19:08.720 --> 01:19:10.460
just to update the language,
01:19:10.460 --> 01:19:14.580
to reflect where you all wanted to expand,
01:19:14.580 --> 01:19:15.790
not only the membership
01:19:15.790 --> 01:19:20.670
but also the roles of each of those members.
01:19:20.670 --> 01:19:22.720
So what I'm asking for here...
01:19:22.720 --> 01:19:25.240
I'll go ahead and hand it back over to you
01:19:25.240 --> 01:19:27.550
Chairman Cavazos and if there's any questions
01:19:27.550 --> 01:19:31.240
about this text I'm happy to indulge.
01:19:31.240 --> 01:19:32.073
Thank you, Christie.
01:19:32.073 --> 01:19:34.020
Any public testimony Katie?
01:19:34.020 --> 01:19:34.853
No, sir.
01:19:35.690 --> 01:19:37.240
Board members, any questions.
01:19:40.300 --> 01:19:41.870
Dr. Kelly?
01:19:41.870 --> 01:19:45.703
Yes. Chairman Cavazos and members of the Board.
01:19:48.200 --> 01:19:51.640
I receive and I think others as well
01:19:51.640 --> 01:19:56.640
a blizzard of list of bills that are potential.
01:19:57.000 --> 01:19:59.550
That representatives have filed each session.
01:19:59.550 --> 01:20:03.200
And so the part where you say now
01:20:03.200 --> 01:20:04.330
instead of having a committee
01:20:04.330 --> 01:20:08.570
we're going to bring these things to the Board as a whole.
01:20:08.570 --> 01:20:09.690
I just want to emphasize it
01:20:09.690 --> 01:20:13.080
that is very important
to me in that I would like
01:20:13.080 --> 01:20:15.450
to have advanced warning when we can
01:20:15.450 --> 01:20:17.800
about bills that might affect the SBEC work.
01:20:17.800 --> 01:20:19.910
So that in turn either individually
01:20:19.910 --> 01:20:23.060
or collectively we can speak to our representatives
01:20:23.060 --> 01:20:24.493
or senators et cetera,
01:20:27.750 --> 01:20:28.630
as we go forward.
01:20:28.630 --> 01:20:32.560
So it sounds like that change is a good one.
01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:34.170
And just wanna emphasize that it,
01:20:34.170 --> 01:20:35.870
for example when we come back in April,
01:20:35.870 --> 01:20:38.000
that we are made aware of those things,
01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:40.910
which might affect SBEC.
01:20:43.350 --> 01:20:44.404
That's my thought.
01:20:44.404 --> 01:20:46.160
Thank you Dr. Kelly a great point.
01:20:46.160 --> 01:20:47.630
Mr. Tommy Coleman, please.
01:20:47.630 --> 01:20:51.010
I just want to echo what Dr. Kelly just said,
01:20:51.010 --> 01:20:53.603
I'm most interested
those bills as well,
01:20:53.603 --> 01:20:55.863
and I'd like regular updates.
01:20:57.690 --> 01:20:58.523
Thank you Tom.
01:20:58.523 --> 01:20:59.790
Mr. Chairman Cavazos
01:20:59.790 --> 01:21:02.210
what we have done the last two sessions
01:21:02.210 --> 01:21:05.260
is starting with the April meeting.
01:21:05.260 --> 01:21:09.240
We will provide an
update within your agenda
01:21:09.240 --> 01:21:10.880
where we will have not only
01:21:10.880 --> 01:21:14.910
here are those bills that have been filed,
01:21:14.910 --> 01:21:18.520
but as things move on in a timely fashion
01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:20.684
we will have an update item
01:21:20.684 --> 01:21:23.933
to actually discuss that with the Board.
01:21:24.900 --> 01:21:27.320
One of the things that Mr. Franklin
01:21:27.320 --> 01:21:30.230
would also do is we will provide you all
01:21:30.230 --> 01:21:34.180
with here are your legislators.
01:21:34.180 --> 01:21:36.760
Here are the proper protocol
01:21:36.760 --> 01:21:39.160
to represent yourself individually
01:21:39.160 --> 01:21:40.250
and not the SBEC.
01:21:40.250 --> 01:21:41.720
So all of that will be coming
01:21:41.720 --> 01:21:46.070
to you before the April meeting to ensure
01:21:46.070 --> 01:21:48.690
that we're all doing things correctly.
01:21:48.690 --> 01:21:51.930
And Ms. Wolf her head won't spin
01:21:51.930 --> 01:21:54.600
off that we're not following
01:21:55.560 --> 01:21:59.100
legal guidelines on you not being able to lobby
01:21:59.100 --> 01:22:00.770
and representing yourself individually
01:22:00.770 --> 01:22:02.810
and not the SBEC Board along
01:22:02.810 --> 01:22:05.070
with those committee assignments.
01:22:05.070 --> 01:22:08.440
But thank you, Mr. Coleman, and Dr. Kelly.
01:22:08.440 --> 01:22:11.080
And we take this very seriously
01:22:11.080 --> 01:22:14.060
to where you said, starting with the April agenda
01:22:14.060 --> 01:22:16.450
we will not only have discussion items
01:22:16.450 --> 01:22:18.800
and you will see all the bills.
01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:21.930
But we will continue
that until every one of,
01:22:21.930 --> 01:22:24.630
even the past legislative
01:22:24.630 --> 01:22:26.430
those enabling legislation
01:22:26.430 --> 01:22:27.920
is codified in your rule.
01:22:27.920 --> 01:22:30.490
So you will see it from start to finish.
01:22:30.490 --> 01:22:33.440
And we only take that item off once all of
01:22:35.261 --> 01:22:38.600
your enabling legislation is reflected in rule.
01:22:38.600 --> 01:22:39.800
Great points though.
01:22:39.800 --> 01:22:40.718
Thank you.
01:22:40.718 --> 01:22:42.968
Thank you, Jean Streepey.
01:22:44.360 --> 01:22:45.770
Thank you for those questions.
01:22:45.770 --> 01:22:47.480
And I agree, I really appreciate
01:22:47.480 --> 01:22:48.970
being ahead of the game
01:22:48.970 --> 01:22:51.310
as far as knowing what's coming down.
01:22:51.310 --> 01:22:52.200
And I haven't been
01:22:52.200 --> 01:22:55.840
through a legislative session on this side before.
01:22:55.840 --> 01:22:58.495
So getting an update in April
01:22:58.495 --> 01:23:00.610
and then again at the next quarterly,
01:23:00.610 --> 01:23:04.103
does that give us timely information?
01:23:07.050 --> 01:23:10.690
I will have a conversation with Ms. Wolf
01:23:10.690 --> 01:23:14.020
and ask her what her comfort level is.
01:23:14.020 --> 01:23:18.390
It's something that we can provide updates
01:23:18.390 --> 01:23:21.313
to you all as it on a continual basis,
01:23:22.620 --> 01:23:24.040
which it'll be public records.
01:23:24.040 --> 01:23:24.980
So I think it'll be fine.
01:23:24.980 --> 01:23:28.990
We'll be able to pull
out what are the things
01:23:28.990 --> 01:23:32.700
that are directly related to SBEC's work
01:23:32.700 --> 01:23:34.690
and be able to provide those just
01:23:34.690 --> 01:23:37.350
as an email out to you.
01:23:37.350 --> 01:23:38.660
We just have to be very careful
01:23:38.660 --> 01:23:41.650
to not talk outside of a Board meeting
01:23:41.650 --> 01:23:44.283
of what implications that may bring.
01:23:45.290 --> 01:23:47.100
That to me I think I've worked
01:23:47.100 --> 01:23:52.080
with Sarah long enough to be able to predict
01:23:52.080 --> 01:23:55.400
that is where we really
wanna shy away from
01:23:55.400 --> 01:23:58.810
is any conversations
outside of a called meeting
01:23:58.810 --> 01:24:00.430
with the Open Meetings Act
01:24:00.430 --> 01:24:03.960
of implications and what rulemaking may look like
01:24:03.960 --> 01:24:06.490
and if this is a good or bad thing.
01:24:06.490 --> 01:24:09.150
So let us, have a conversation
01:24:09.150 --> 01:24:12.370
of exactly what that needs to look like.
01:24:12.370 --> 01:24:14.190
And then we will circle back,
01:24:14.190 --> 01:24:15.900
first with Chairman Cavazos
01:24:15.900 --> 01:24:18.040
and I will close the loop on that.
01:24:18.040 --> 01:24:19.970
Great points though.
01:24:19.970 --> 01:24:21.308
Emily?
01:24:21.308 --> 01:24:25.750
Thinking specifically about this Board being informed
01:24:25.750 --> 01:24:27.180
about potential timelines
01:24:27.180 --> 01:24:28.500
for implementation of things
01:24:28.500 --> 01:24:30.850
that are going to be considered for legislation
01:24:30.850 --> 01:24:32.530
STR comes to mind
01:24:32.530 --> 01:24:35.750
that the timeline for implementation is something
01:24:35.750 --> 01:24:37.660
that absolutely concerns everyone
01:24:38.600 --> 01:24:40.540
on this call in terms of our work.
01:24:40.540 --> 01:24:44.640
So I agree with Jean, I
don't know the timeline
01:24:44.640 --> 01:24:46.430
for informing us of April
01:24:46.430 --> 01:24:48.623
and then later make sense,
01:24:49.720 --> 01:24:50.787
or give us as much information
01:24:50.787 --> 01:24:52.793
as we might like to have.
01:24:53.940 --> 01:24:56.210
But I also have not been
01:24:56.210 --> 01:24:58.110
a member of this body during a legislative session.
01:24:58.110 --> 01:25:00.973
So I may be overstepping there.
01:25:03.630 --> 01:25:05.273
That is a great point Emily.
01:25:06.370 --> 01:25:08.970
The other thing that we do is,
01:25:08.970 --> 01:25:12.210
the moment the session has closed
01:25:12.210 --> 01:25:15.360
your next agenda we will be providing what
01:25:15.360 --> 01:25:16.900
that timeline looks like.
01:25:16.900 --> 01:25:18.800
We will do it meeting to...
01:25:18.800 --> 01:25:23.410
We will show that laid out for the next year.
01:25:23.410 --> 01:25:25.947
And then we can,
we always add to it
01:25:25.947 --> 01:25:27.740
is like this piece of legislation.
01:25:27.740 --> 01:25:28.740
This is what it does.
01:25:28.740 --> 01:25:30.160
This is when you're gonna
01:25:30.160 --> 01:25:32.110
have a discussion item on it
01:25:32.110 --> 01:25:33.571
a proposal item on it.
01:25:33.571 --> 01:25:35.610
And an adoption item on it.
01:25:35.610 --> 01:25:36.960
And so what this will do is
01:25:36.960 --> 01:25:41.900
it'll let you see a very long draw out
01:25:41.900 --> 01:25:43.890
of exactly what the timeline
01:25:43.890 --> 01:25:47.850
and the implementation plan is of ensuring.
01:25:47.850 --> 01:25:48.683
This is what we did
01:25:48.683 --> 01:25:50.490
with the science of teaching reading for example.
01:25:50.490 --> 01:25:53.030
It started in 2019 at the end
01:25:53.030 --> 01:25:55.120
of session was the very first time
01:25:55.120 --> 01:25:59.843
that we had an item for
you all, because we knew
01:25:59.843 --> 01:26:02.650
that there were implications way before pandemic.
01:26:02.650 --> 01:26:06.077
Implications of January one, 2021
01:26:06.077 --> 01:26:07.840
and that what that was going to mean
01:26:07.840 --> 01:26:09.780
for there to be a smooth rollout.
01:26:09.780 --> 01:26:12.960
So what we will start doing is you will have
01:26:12.960 --> 01:26:15.990
that timeline and that implementation plan
01:26:15.990 --> 01:26:17.640
as soon as session is over,
01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:21.323
because there's no reason to have a plan and a timeline.
01:26:22.510 --> 01:26:25.390
As you know, there's the percentage of bills
01:26:25.390 --> 01:26:27.360
that actually get passed
01:26:27.360 --> 01:26:29.560
versus the ones that get filed.
01:26:29.560 --> 01:26:32.600
So we will keep you updated throughout the session
01:26:32.600 --> 01:26:34.110
on what has been filed.
01:26:34.110 --> 01:26:36.973
What is the summary of that?
01:26:37.920 --> 01:26:39.990
What are some of the implications
01:26:39.990 --> 01:26:40.980
just kind of a high level,
01:26:40.980 --> 01:26:43.420
what the bill analysis would show.
01:26:43.420 --> 01:26:45.300
And then when session is over,
01:26:45.300 --> 01:26:47.120
again, it'll be a standing item
01:26:47.120 --> 01:26:48.370
where we're always we'll have
01:26:48.370 --> 01:26:50.910
that legislative implementation plan
01:26:50.910 --> 01:26:52.070
in front of you.
01:26:52.070 --> 01:26:53.930
So you not only know what is coming,
01:26:53.930 --> 01:26:55.380
you'll know when it's coming.
01:26:55.380 --> 01:26:58.850
And then we can talk
about those perfect points
01:26:58.850 --> 01:27:00.270
that you all brought up.
01:27:00.270 --> 01:27:02.800
Is ensuring that the field
01:27:02.800 --> 01:27:04.930
and the Board has got everything
01:27:04.930 --> 01:27:07.333
that they need to be successful in that rollout.
01:27:09.040 --> 01:27:09.993
Great discussion.
01:27:12.310 --> 01:27:13.730
Christie so I'm gonna go back
01:27:13.730 --> 01:27:15.947
to Dr. Kelly's point where he said
01:27:15.947 --> 01:27:19.750
"We get people that send us our bills
01:27:19.750 --> 01:27:22.010
that have been filed
and those kinds of things
01:27:22.010 --> 01:27:24.330
that directly impact K through 12.
01:27:24.330 --> 01:27:27.020
And it's just information only.
01:27:27.020 --> 01:27:30.040
I think that there's an opportunity
01:27:30.040 --> 01:27:32.900
to send us those bills
that have been filed
01:27:32.900 --> 01:27:35.120
that are implications to SBEC,
01:27:36.060 --> 01:27:37.883
just as information only.
01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:40.290
That would be helpful,
01:27:40.290 --> 01:27:42.620
just so that we have an idea
01:27:42.620 --> 01:27:45.620
of what's coming down the pike.
01:27:45.620 --> 01:27:48.283
April Board meeting and
then the next meeting,
01:27:49.420 --> 01:27:50.460
we're gonna be right before
01:27:50.460 --> 01:27:53.660
the legislative session
ends and then right after.
01:27:53.660 --> 01:27:55.610
But Dr. Kelly is correct.
01:27:55.610 --> 01:27:57.930
We, have organizations that send us here
01:27:57.930 --> 01:27:59.230
the bills have been filed,
01:28:00.162 --> 01:28:02.760
that have direct impact to K-12 programming.
01:28:02.760 --> 01:28:04.480
And so I think
01:28:04.480 --> 01:28:07.040
that there's an opportunity to do that.
01:28:07.040 --> 01:28:09.070
I actually would like to see
01:28:09.070 --> 01:28:11.120
what bills have been filed
01:28:11.120 --> 01:28:13.480
that may inform our work moving forward.
01:28:13.480 --> 01:28:17.403
So we'd like to stay abreast of that as well.
01:28:18.400 --> 01:28:20.550
Absolutely I could not agree more.
01:28:20.550 --> 01:28:23.110
And again I'll visit
01:28:23.110 --> 01:28:27.110
with your general counsel, Ms. Wolf,
01:28:27.110 --> 01:28:28.490
and ensure that I've got
01:28:28.490 --> 01:28:31.320
all the T's crossed and I's dotted.
01:28:31.320 --> 01:28:33.140
Given that you are state officers
01:28:34.639 --> 01:28:36.490
and the differences is that,
01:28:36.490 --> 01:28:39.290
we are warned profusely against lobbying.
01:28:39.290 --> 01:28:40.250
So we need to make sure
01:28:40.250 --> 01:28:44.400
that our language is as a resource.
01:28:44.400 --> 01:28:48.380
And so let's work out those details.
01:28:48.380 --> 01:28:51.700
And we will definitely circle back
01:28:51.700 --> 01:28:53.543
and let you know kind of what that would look like.
01:28:53.543 --> 01:28:54.500
But I have heard you,
01:28:54.500 --> 01:28:57.740
I agree with you a million percent.
01:28:57.740 --> 01:28:58.573
And one of the reasons
01:28:58.573 --> 01:29:01.070
that we went away from the committee structure,
01:29:01.070 --> 01:29:03.060
to the full Board is that,
01:29:03.060 --> 01:29:04.710
just the Committee having something
01:29:04.710 --> 01:29:05.890
or being aware of something
01:29:05.890 --> 01:29:07.781
that they would only meet twice
01:29:07.781 --> 01:29:12.570
having this continuous communication loop.
01:29:12.570 --> 01:29:13.860
Thank you for all the input.
01:29:13.860 --> 01:29:16.600
I think it's great guidance
01:29:16.600 --> 01:29:19.510
and I will be circling
back with y'all next week
01:29:19.510 --> 01:29:21.534
on what this is gonna look like.
01:29:21.534 --> 01:29:22.367
Is that good?
01:29:22.367 --> 01:29:25.237
Great, thank you, Kelvey.
01:29:25.237 --> 01:29:26.633
Thanks Chairman Cavazos.
01:29:27.570 --> 01:29:28.600
I just want to reinforce
01:29:28.600 --> 01:29:31.750
'cause I know Christie is doing her best here,
01:29:31.750 --> 01:29:34.350
but just to remind that,
01:29:34.350 --> 01:29:37.920
as the agency we are prohibited from lobbying
01:29:37.920 --> 01:29:40.820
and being for or against any legislation.
01:29:40.820 --> 01:29:43.870
So while we can definitely inform
01:29:43.870 --> 01:29:48.243
and share what we know
in terms of what's coming
01:29:48.243 --> 01:29:51.070
we have to be very
careful that we aren't for
01:29:51.070 --> 01:29:52.553
or against any of the bills
01:29:52.553 --> 01:29:55.670
that the legislature is proposing.
01:29:55.670 --> 01:29:58.600
So we will do the best that we can
01:29:58.600 --> 01:30:01.870
to keep everyone informed for sure.
01:30:01.870 --> 01:30:04.180
While making sure we stay
01:30:04.180 --> 01:30:07.040
within the bounds of what we are allowed to do.
01:30:07.040 --> 01:30:09.514
Perfect, and I think that
01:30:09.514 --> 01:30:12.230
if we just get a slew of all the bills,
01:30:12.230 --> 01:30:14.070
whether it's good or bad.
01:30:14.070 --> 01:30:16.030
Then you all aren't taking a position
01:30:16.030 --> 01:30:18.350
you're just keeping us informed along the way.
01:30:18.350 --> 01:30:20.483
Secondly, I am
sure that it will have
01:30:20.483 --> 01:30:23.600
a three page disclaimer before you send us.
01:30:23.600 --> 01:30:24.433
I'm kidding.
01:30:24.433 --> 01:30:25.266
I'm kidding.
01:30:25.266 --> 01:30:26.099
Or two pages.
01:30:26.099 --> 01:30:29.210
So anyway, any further thoughts?
01:30:29.210 --> 01:30:31.653
So we can move on with this item.
01:30:34.310 --> 01:30:35.143
All right.
01:30:35.143 --> 01:30:38.220
So this is a an action item.
01:30:38.220 --> 01:30:40.413
Who's got the slide deck next.
01:30:41.580 --> 01:30:42.413
Yes, it is.
01:30:42.413 --> 01:30:44.373
So Rohanna Sykes please.
01:30:46.160 --> 01:30:47.870
I move that the Board approve the revisions
01:30:47.870 --> 01:30:49.730
to the Board Operating Policies
01:30:49.730 --> 01:30:51.633
and Procedures as presented.
01:30:53.300 --> 01:30:54.320
Do I hear a second?
01:30:54.320 --> 01:30:55.990
Do I see a second?
01:30:55.990 --> 01:30:57.093
All right.
01:30:57.093 --> 01:30:58.943
Dr. Laurie Turner seconds the motion.
01:30:59.790 --> 01:31:01.530
All those in favor raise your right hand,
01:31:01.530 --> 01:31:04.743
hold it up high so that
we can record the vote.
01:31:07.610 --> 01:31:08.443
All right.
01:31:08.443 --> 01:31:09.276
Thank you.
01:31:09.276 --> 01:31:10.823
All those in opposition do the same.
01:31:12.550 --> 01:31:13.383
All right.
01:31:13.383 --> 01:31:14.453
The motion carries.
01:31:15.600 --> 01:31:18.820
Now, we're going to go to item disciplinary cases
01:31:18.820 --> 01:31:22.210
and I think this is a great time to take a little break.
01:31:22.210 --> 01:31:25.110
So Katie, we're gonna take a nine minute
01:31:25.110 --> 01:31:26.970
and 43 second break.
01:31:26.970 --> 01:31:28.066
Just kidding.
01:31:28.066 --> 01:31:30.580
10 minute break, set the timer.
01:31:30.580 --> 01:31:33.380
And we can turn off our video, correct?
01:31:33.380 --> 01:31:34.213
At this point.
01:31:34.213 --> 01:31:35.610
And then we'll come back in 10 minutes.
01:31:35.610 --> 01:31:36.443
Thank you guys.
