The Iowa Board of Educational Examiners (BOEE) is currently reviewing the requirements for becoming an elementary teacher. The Board is looking in to the preparation of future teachers to meet the needs of students in the 21st Century. This proposal for the new Elementary Education Teaching Endorsement is a draft prepared by a team of educators working at the building level, AEAs and in colleges and universities.
The BOEE has put together an electronic survey as one way of gathering input from elementary teachers and administrators and elementary prepared AEA staff. Elementary teachers have already been notified, but the BOEE needs school administrators to also fill out the survey. You will find the survey at http://www.boee.iowa.gov/ElementaryEdSurvey.html.
