Download or read book State Teacher Policy Yearbook 2009 Missouri written by National Council on Teacher Quality and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Missouri edition of the National Council on Teacher Quality's (NCTQ's) 2009 "State Teacher Policy Yearbook" is the third annual look at state policies impacting the teaching profession. It is hoped that this report will help focus attention on areas where state policymakers can make changes that will have a positive impact on teacher quality and student achievement. The 2009 "Yearbook" presents a comprehensive analysis of state teacher policies. This evaluation is organized in five areas encompassing 33 goals. Broadly, these goals examine the impact of state policy on: (1) delivering well-prepared teachers; (2) expanding the teaching pool; (3) identifying effective teachers; (4) retaining those deemed effective; and (5) exiting those deemed ineffective. Missouri has an overall "Yearbook" grade of D for 2009. Missouri's major policy strengths include: (1) Maintains full authority to approve teacher preparation programs; and (2) Requires induction for all new teachers. Missouri's major policy weaknesses include: (1) Awards tenure virtually automatically; (2) Fails to make evidence of student learning the preponderant criterion in teacher evaluations; (3) Lacks an efficient termination process for ineffective teachers; and (4) Offers a disingenuous alternate route. Detailed rationale for each area and corresponding goal is appended. (Contains 124 figures.) [For the national summary, see ED511872.].
