Questions and Answers
Does the Career Ladder Program have specific evaluation
requirements?
Yes, the evaluation requirements are described in Section 7149 of
Title VII of ESEA, 20 U.S.C. 7479.
What requirements must grantees meet related to teacher
certification?
The Title VII statute requires grantees to assist educational
personnel in meeting State and local certification requirements. 20
U.S.C. 7477. However, because certification requirements vary among
States, applicants are given flexibility in designing activities that
lead to meeting State and local certification requirements.
May program budgets include costs for items other than student
tuition and fees?
Project budgets should reflect the proposed program activities. In
addition to student support costs, budget items may include costs for
personnel, supplies or equipment, and other reasonable and necessary
costs to support developmental activities.
What information may be helpful in preparing the application
narrative for a Career Ladder Program?
In responding to the selection criteria applicants may wish to
consider the following questions as a guide for preparing application
narrative.
What are the specific responsibilities of districts,
schools, institutions of higher education and other partnership
organizations in planning, implementing and evaluating the proposed
program? How is the program linked to the school district's overall
professional development plan?
What resources and support will each of the consortia
members provide? How will resources be integrated to ensure maximum
effectiveness of the program and to promote capacity building and long-
range collaboration?
How does the training curricula reflect high standards for
pedagogy, content, and proficiency in English and a second language to
ensure that participants are effectively prepared to provide
instruction and support to LEP students?
How will the program assist in systemically reforming
policies and practices in the target schools and in the IHE related to
the preparation of new teachers, the induction of new bilingual
teachers, clinical experiences for new bilingual teachers and other
educational personnel, or professional development opportunities for
all teachers?
What special selection criteria will the applicant adopt
to ensure that individuals selected to participate in the program hold
promise for successfully completing program requirements?
What special support will be provided to participants by
experienced bilingual teachers, higher education
[[Page 4218]]
faculty, and school administrators to guide them during their period of
induction?
How will the instructional responsibilities of
participants be balanced with appropriate professional development,
support and planning time?
How will clinical experiences for preservice participants
be structured to ensure that they are well-supervised, of sufficient
duration and in a setting which provides opportunities for participants
to experience a variety of effective bilingual education instructional
methods and approaches?
How is the training curriculum based on current research
related to effective teaching and learning? What evidence of
effectiveness supports the training model?
What performance indicators will the proposed program use
to support the effectiveness of the program related to, for example:
improved teaching practices; participants' effectiveness in the
instructional setting; improved performance on National or State
benchmark tests; reduction in the number of new bilingual teachers
leaving the profession; improvement of graduation rates?
How will the program evaluation incorporate strategies for
assessing the progress and performance of participants; communicating
meaningful, regular and timely feedback to participants; improving the
quality of the training program; documenting and identifying exemplary
program features and successful strategies; and reporting on specific
data related to the number of participants completing the program and
the number of graduates placed in the instructional setting?
In addition, applicants may wish to consider the Department of
Education Professional Development Principles in planning a Career
Ladder Program
The following are the professional development principles:
Focuses on teachers as central to student learning, yet
includes all other members of the school community;
Focuses on individual, collegial and organizational
improvement;
Respects and nurtures the intellectual and leadership
capacity of teachers, principals, and others in the school community;
Reflects best available research and practice in teaching,
learning, and leadership; enables teachers to develop further expertise
in subject content, teaching strategies, uses of technologies, and
other essential elements in teaching to high standards;
Promotes continuous inquiry and improvement embedded in
the daily life of schools;
Is planned collaboratively by those who will participate
in and facilitate that development;
Requires substantial time and other resources;
Is driven by a coherent long-term plan;
Is evaluated ultimately on the basis of its impact on
teacher effectiveness and student learning; and uses this assessment to
guide subsequent professional development efforts.
What other information may be helpful in applying for a Career
Ladder Program?
Applicants are reminded that they must submit a copy of their
application to the SEA for review and comment. In addition, applicants
must submit a copy of their application to the State Single Point of
