Education Consortium

What is the Education Consortium?

Teacher Standards and Practices Commission requires higher education to maintain an active consortium.  A consortium advises the unit on development, evaluation, and improvement of the program.

(1)The consortium consists of equal representation of teachers appointed by school district organizations that represent teachers in bargaining matters, public school administrators, students in the program and faculty from the institution. In addition, representatives from the community may be appointed with attention given to under-represented groups.

(2)The consortium has written by-laws that govern its operation.

(3)The consortium meets at least twice each year to review and evaluate the program, activities and annual reports and receives written response from the unit regarding recommendations.
