November 2009 MACTE Minute

The Minnesota Association of the Colleges of Teacher Education (MACTE) presents the following MACTE Minute for your consideration. It was MACTE’s intention to present a summary of our recent statewide meeting and congress. The three day event in October engaged 158 participants in professional development and continuous improvement. The theme for the three days was “Rethinking Schooling.” The theme represented MACTE’s ongoing commitment to innovation in support of teaching and student learning. After seeing the agenda for today’s meeting of the Board of Teaching, we felt we needed to revise our MACTE Minute. However, the theme is still the same, “Rethinking Schooling.” Schools and their students are changing, but we continue to need qualified, effective teachers. On the BOT agenda today is a significant item about launching rulemaking to revise MN Rule 8700.7600. This item has to be one of the most significant topics that will face this Board. See full position statement.
