On March 9, 1989, Governor Terry E. Branstad signed open enrollment legislation for the state of Iowa giving parent/guardians "choice" in the selection of the public school district they wish to have their children attend. With this action, Iowa is facing a change in the educational system unparalleled in the history of the state. As Director of the Department of Education, I have strongly supported the concept of parent choice in public education, and I will continue to do so. Research on existing choice programs indicates that they improve parent participation into the schools, empower teachers as academic leaders, shift greater decision making to smaller administrative units, and produce encouragement for dropouts to return to school. They also create a revitalization and enthusiasm among many teachers involved in the programs. I am confident that parent choice in Iowa will result in greater effectiveness, efficiency, creativity, and accountability in our schools. The following points cover the major provisions of the Iowa open enrollment legislation: For the 1989-1990 School Year: * Parents/guardians who have been paying tuition for their children to attend a public school district other than their district of residence may continue these students in this program with the per-pupil cost paid by the resident district. * Parents/guardians who move out of a district anytime during the 1988-1989 school year may return their students to this district under open enrollment with the new district of residence paying the per-pupil costs of education.

This increasingly negative spotlight in many school systems makes it more difficult to recruit good superintendents and tougher to interest community leaders in serving on boards of education.

The article characterized Crawford, a Past Chair and Member of the Salt Lake City, UT, Board of Education, as an effective board member because: He was results oriented;

Home For Members Hot Topics About ISEA ... 150th Anniversary Fact Sheet: National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Background The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) is a private, nonprofit organization governed by a 63-member board of directors, the majority of whom are classroom teachers. One Iowa teacher Joel Franken, a National Board certified retired art teacher from Denison, serves on the NBPTS Board of Directors. The Board was created in 1987 to develop standards and assessment programs for teachers. State Comparisons Since the program began, 387 Iowa teachers have earned the distinction of being National Board Certified. Nearly 23,930 teachers across the nation have completed this rigorous process. Requirements Successful candidates must develop a portfolio that includes documentation of teaching practice and student work, a videotape of classroom interactions with students and a written detailed analysis of teaching reflected in the videotape and student work. Candidates have reported spending over 200 hours developing their portfolios. Candidates must also complete a full day of assessment exercises related to subject matter content. The assessment day typically consists of four 90-minute tests. Any licensed teacher with at least three years of experience is eligible to apply for National Board Certification. Financial Support There is a cost of $2,300 for all candidates to register for the NBPTS program. Teachers obtaining National Certification will receive $2,500 per year for 10 years and full reimbursement of the $2,300 required registration fee, as part of a financial incentive package approved by the Iowa Legislature.

John. A Parvin is elected the organization’s first chairman. For the first time, women are admitted as full members of the ISTA. Years of work by the ISTA pays off with the founding of the first teacher training institution, the Iowa State Normal School at Cedar Falls. ISTA successfully lobbies the Legislature to create an Educational Board of Examiners to govern teacher certification. The ISTA-backed Better Iowa Schools Commission recommends education improvements to the 35th Iowa General Assembly which ultimately approves measures to strengthen teacher certification requirements and establish minimum teacher salaries based on preparation and experience. The ISTA undergoes remarkable growth with the hiring of Charles F. Pye as the first full-time "executive secretary." He and his staff of three move into the Association’s first office at the Youngerman Building in downtown Des Moines. The ISTA acquires Midland Schools magazine which serves as a popular and award-winning voice of the Association for more than 50 years.

Back to Home Contact Us Community Action Community Leadership ... Contact Us Articles Iowa Association of School Boards A Promise Fulfilled: Our Vision for Public Education Realizing the promise of public education means envisioning and working toward a public education system in which: All students are graduating from school prepared to make a living, a life, and a difference. All children are learning challenging content. Education is personally rewarding and challenging for all involved. Parents are actively involved in their child's education. Teachers and and administrators have the knowledge and skills they need to help all children succeed. Board/superintendent teams in every district are community leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to ensure success for all the students. All schools have access to the financial and technical resources they need. Iowa citizens understand and support their public schools. Ron Rice firmly believes that Iowa schools are not delivering on the promise of education-that every student, regardless of race, family income, or any other factor, will gain the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. His first step was to involve the entire top management team in the TLP. "I knew if we went through it together, the staff would find their individual passions within our common vision, and then we could build an overall strategic plan."
