3125 - WISCONSIN QUALITY EDUCATOR INITIATIVE

The Board of Education is committed to having a quality teacher in every classroom and a strong leader in every building. The Board encourages the use of best educational practices to improve instruction and increase student achievement. To this end, the Board requires that the District hire the most qualified and experienced staff available and that all staff be licensed as required by law.

Attaining and maintaining proper State licensure under P.I. 34, which describes the requirements for attaining and maintaining educator’s licensing for practicing in the State, is primarily the licensee’s responsibility. However, the Board recognizes its responsibilities under P.I. 34 and supports efforts that promote the effectiveness of staff through career-long preparation and learning and performance-based assessment.

Under P.I. 34, the Board is required to develop a licensure support plan providing for, at a minimum, ongoing orientation, support seminars and a qualified mentor for initial educators.
