As the academic year draws to a close, MACTE would like to extend its sincere thanks to the Board of Teaching. Our organizations have partnered effectively throughout the year to make positive change for Minnesota teaching candidates and the students they will one day teach. Beginning with the August retreat, the Board has included MACTE in essential conversations and deliberations that will impact our programs and the preparation our candidates receive. We have worked closely together on legislative matters and on the Special Education Task Force, the PEPER Redesign Task Force, and the Standards and Rules Committee. In addition, representatives of both the Board of Teaching and the Department of Education have been invited to speak to MACTE members at our fall, winter, and spring meetings. We have shared ideas and tackled tough issues; we have kept the communication lines open.    See full position statement
