KTIP 2008-2009 Funding

• The current difficult financial climate in
• the Commonwealth has resulted in significant
  decreases in funding for KTIP.
• Since the 2009-2010 biennial budget bill (HB 406)
  did not provide language to the contrary, the
  EPSB must make sure that KTIP conforms to the law
  (KRS 161.030), while at the same time modifying
  the program to ensure optimal use of available
  funds.

3
KTIP 2008-2009 Funding

• On June 7, 2008, the EPSB established
• new funding priorities for KTIP that resulted in
  maintaining stipends paid to resource teachers
  but limiting the number of interns for FY09
  reducing contracts for public universities by
  approximately two-thirds.
• This reduction in funds for university contracts
  will severely restrict each universitys ability
  to place a TE on every KTIP committee.

4
BOARD OPTION
KTIP TASK FORCE To monitor the
impact of these changes and bring additional
recommendations for ways KTIP can be improved
under the current funding situation.
Scenario 1 - RT stipend remains at 1400, funding
for TEs and Universities comes from limiting FY
interns to 2300 and receiving 200,000 in Perkins
Grant funds.
5
KTIP 2008-2009 University Contracts

• Assign TEs through IMS.
• Schedule conduct training for KTIP committee
• members and train-the-trainer sessions.
• Submit copies of any products developed to the
• Division of PLA by May 15, 2009.
• Print distribute KTIP information to area DCs.

6
KTIP 2008-2009 University Contracts

• 5) Funds allocated to each public university
  based on of the total allocation used in 07-08.
• 6) In order to maximize limited funds, when
  necessary and manageable, universities will
  utilize district personnel at district cost to
  serve as TEs on KTIP Committees.
  District-assigned TEs will have the same
  qualifications as the RT but cannot be in the
  same school.

7
KTIP 2008-2009 University Contracts

• Program support shall not exceed 15 of
• total allocation.
• Each university shall be able to use the
  allocation as best fulfills needs of the service
  region.
• 9) When it will not be detrimental to the
  success of the intern, each assigned TE will be
  encouraged to utilize appropriate technology
  (e.g., teleconferencing for orientation, video
  for the final observation).

8
KTIP 2008-2009 University Contracts

• Current budget will not permit any amendments
• to the contract amount.
• 11) Detailed reports due each quarter to EPSB
  should delineate all expenditures including funds
  allocated along with all other resources and
  in-kind services.

9
2008-2009 KTIP Regional Intern Slots
These do not include the number of interns that
completed the 2008 spring semester and may
return in fall 2008.
10
Changes and Suggestions

• Broader definition of TE
• Use of technology for TE
• Collapsed spending categories in university
  contracts
• EILA Credit for instructional leaders (704 KAR
  3325)
• Use of district Title II/PD money
• Multiple roles (e.g., RT and TE)
• RT can serve more than one intern
• EPSB will consider district ideas
• Build Professional Learning Communities in
  district/school
• Masters Program for Leadership show leadership
• District /school influence on new teacher

11
IMS

• Regardless of fund availability, all COEs must be
  entered in IMS in order for the intern to receive
  a Provisional Internship Certificate.
• IMS will be available as soon as possible will
  send special email and put in newsletter.
• Make sure all information is correct on the COEs
  before submitting to EPSB. If changes have to be
  made after the COE has been submitted to EPSB the
  COE may lose its slot and be put at the back of
  the list.

12
IMS (contd)

• Double check and make sure all documents have
  been submitted by the deadlines.
• If interns resign, they need to sign RTT before
  leaving.
• Do not bookmark a page in IMS and then email it
  to another person. This not only bookmarks the
  page but the role as well.

13
IMS (contd)

• Check the expiration date on SOEs
• and Temporary Provisionals.
• If a Temporary Provisional expires on 12/31 the
  internship should be entered as Aug-May. The
  intern should renew by November 1st to avoid
  losing spring slot.
• When assigning TEs, university coordinators will
  need to know if TE is employed through
  university, district, or retired. If district,
  what district and school?

14
IMS (contd)

• DCs will have the ability to place an
• intern on leave (i.e. medical). An effective
  beginning and ending date within the same school
  year will be required along with an explanation
  of the leave. Documentation must be sent to
  EPSB.
• If the ending date is in the next school year,
  the intern is required to follow current
  procedures.

Standard Setting Studies

• Standard Setting Studies (SSS)
• In cooperation with the Educational Testing
  Service (ETS), KY IECE teachers and higher
  education faculty have developed a KY-specific
  IECE test. The EPSB conducted a SSS for the newly
  developed test in June 2008. The purpose of the
  SSS is to verify the new test is appropriate for
  certifying Kentucky IECE teachers. Should the
  test be validated for Kentucky use, it would be
  available November 2008, but not required until
  2009.
• The EPSB also conducted a June SSS of the Praxis
  II Gifted Education test to determine whether it
  is appropriate for Kentucky educators.

39
Test Reviews

• Reviews
• Each year, the EPSB hosts reviews of currently
  required tests to ensure they are still valid for
  Kentucky teachers. This year, currently
  practicing teachers and teacher educators will be
  reviewing the tests required for middle school
  English, middle school math, middle school
  science, earth science, and theatre.

40
New Teacher Survey

• Results from the 2007-2008 New Teacher Survey
  should be available September 2009 from our
  website at http//www.kyepsb.net/TestingResearch/S
  tatistics/StateRptCard/.  Due to budget
  constraints the survey will not be conducted
  during the 2008-2009 school year.

41
Praxis II National Advisory Committees

• Each year, ETS convenes National Advisory
  Committees (NAC) to develop a new test and/or to
  review and revise the specifications for existing
  tests. Each NAC typically consists of a diverse
  group of certified teachers and higher education
  faculty who are involved in teacher preparation
  for a particular subject area or certification
  test.

42
Praxis II National Advisory Committees (contd)

• Below is a list of the upcoming Praxis II
  National Advisory Committees (NAC) for which ETS
  would like classroom teacher and/or IHE faculty
  representation. Although Kentucky does not
  currently use these tests, the invitation to
  participate in the NAC is open to all states. If
  you would like to participate, please visit
  www.ets.org/praxiscomm.html (choose the button at
  the bottom labeled "National Advisory
  Committee), complete the form, and submit.  Be
