Transcription

Message from the Regional Superintendent
Robert A. Daiber, Ed.D.
[email protected]
Welcome to the 2012 Madison County Teacher’s Institute. The
planning of this institute has been a collaborative effort between the
institute committee, the curriculum council, classroom teacher’s input,
and recommendations from district administrators. Although the
institute will take place on three campuses, the central message of
understanding the PERA Law, the common core standards, and the
Danielson Teaching Framework will remain constant for all
participants. Our keynote presenter, Charlotte Danielson, has challenged teachers and administrators
to look at the practice of teaching. The featured speakers who are at each site are part of the Danielson
team. These consultants will help lead the institute and offer a Danielson training for administrators.
Regional Superintendents Dr. Darlene Ruscitti and the Amy Jo Clemens will provide special interest
sessions regarding the impact of the PERA law on Illinois education.
I would like to thank all practitioners who stepped up to be presenters at this institute. The program
reflects great innovative strategies to manage and engage student learning. A great diverse offering is
presented at each site. It is the intent of this institute that all participants leave with a better
understanding of the Danielson Teaching Framework.
In addition to the breakout sessions at each location, there will be various vendors that will share their
products to support school programs. The Regional Office of Education hopes you have a meaningful
institute day. In closing, I would like to thank Dr. Hightower of Edwardsville District 7, Dr. Briggs of
Granite City District 9, and Dr. Green of Collinsville District 10, and their respective boards of
education for sharing their facilities to make this institute day possible.
