Rule 281-83.6 - Teacher quality committees

Each school district and area education agency will create a teacher quality committee pursuant to Iowa Code section 284.4. The committee is subject to Iowa Code chapter 21. To the extent possible, committee membership will have balanced representation with regard to gender. The committee will do all of the following:

1. Monitor the implementation of statutes and administrative code provisions relating to this chapter, including those that affect any agreement negotiated pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 20.

2. Monitor the evaluation provisions of this chapter to ensure evaluations are conducted in a fair and consistent manner throughout the school district or agency. The committee will develop model evidence for the Iowa teaching standards and criteria. The model evidence will minimize paperwork and focus on teacher improvement. The model evidence will determine which standards and criteria can be met through observation and which evidence meets multiple standards and criteria.

3. Determine, following the adoption of the Iowa professional development model by the state board of education, the use and distribution of the professional development funds distributed to the school district or agency as provided in Iowa Code section 284.13(1)"d" based upon school district or agency, attendance center, and individual teacher professional development plans.

4. Monitor the professional development in each attendance center to ensure that the professional development meets school district or agency, attendance center, and individual teacher professional development plans.

5. Determine the compensation for teachers on the committee for work responsibilities beyond the normal workday.

6. Make recommendations to the school board and the certified bargaining representative regarding the expenditures of market factor incentives.
