First DCI show! Didn't make it live, but I'd rather be on the couch than in the stadium this evening! http://t.co/Togcg26L— Mark G. (@garrinmf) June 30, 2012

Assessing student growth for those teachers not included in ISTEP+
From the Indiana Dept of Education - 5/16/2011:
Question - How do we evaluate/pay educators teaching in grades/subjects that are not tested by ISTEP+?
Answer - By January 31, 2012, the State Board will adopt rules that establish the methods for assessing student growth for certificated employees who do not teach in areas measured by statewide assessments.‖ This fall, several school corporations across the state will pilot these methods.
So why did we pass legislation without establishing these methods? And the methods won't even be established until January 2012? This question affects all FCS, Computer, PE, Music, Art, Dance and Drama teachers as well as many others. And there is still no consideration given to those teachers with multi-building responsibilities. Please weigh in on this if I'm missing something!
