Substitute Applications No Longer Being Accepted
At the last Public Schools Personnel Cooperative Advisory Committee meeting held on January 22, 2010, it was discussed and decided by our districts using our substitute services to no longer accept substitute applications at this time. This includes both certificated and classified applicants.
There are only two exceptions that will be allowed.
- We will accept classified applications for the Head Start/ECEAP program.
- We will accept certificated teachers that recently completed their student teaching within one of our member substitute districts.
The substitute process for the food service, custodial/maintenance, and transportation departments will not be affected by this change. The decision was based on the high number of substitutes currently on the substitute list. The Advisory Committee will reevaluate the situation in mid March. Thank you.
Getting Serious About School Reform with Dr. Robert Marzano
The network of Educational Service Districts has entered into a 3 year partnership with Marzano Research Laboratories. Throughout this project, all nine ESDs are working to build capacity around Dr. Marzano's "Three Commitments", which, when fully implemented, are proven to improve student learning. The collective ESD system is creating resources like grade appropriate, suggested academic vocabulary in science and mathematics; and rubrics for assessing student learning, tied to Washington's learning targets.
This May, Dr. Marzano will be in our region presenting for two days on the process of developing systems of individual feedback for students.
