INDIANA COALITION FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION PRESENTS A CONVERSATION WITH STATE SUPERINTENDENT JENNIFER MCCORMICK
Dr. McCormick will discuss educational initiatives and provide updates
Bloomington — Dr. Jennifer McCormick, Indiana State Superintendent of Public Instruction, will hold a meeting in Bloomington to discuss educational initiatives and provide updates about the work of the Indiana Department of Education. The meeting will take place Thursday, November 9, at the Monroe County Community School Corporation Co-Lab, 553 East Miller Drive, at 7 p.m.
Dr. McCormick will address Indiana’s approach in the areas of accountability and school improvement, long-term goals, partnerships and consultation, assessment, supporting educators and students, academics, and school funding. Time for questions and answers will be included.
The Indiana Department of Education is tasked with implementing state policy. This public conversation has the potential to shed light on how new policies may affect students’ classroom experience and what the state expects of educators in public schools. With the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) replacing No Child Left Behind (NCLB), requirements for states and standardized testing have shifted. Indiana is in the process of developing a new standardized test, ILEARN, to replace ISTEP. This fall, Indiana’s State Board of Education is exploring new requirements for high school students to graduate which may shift some responsibility away from the Indiana Department of Education to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development and even to individual employers.
This event is sponsored by the Indiana Coalition for Public Education–Monroe County (http://icpe-monroecounty.org/), the Indiana University School of Education (http://education.indiana.edu/), and the Monroe County Community School Corporation (https://www.mccsc.edu/).
