Background:
|
The Bilingual Task Force met on Monday, November 22, 2021. During this meeting, members present continued to work on the four points of focus as directed by the Milwaukee Board of School Directors.
Those points are:
1) Financial support from MPS and the specific out- of –pocket costs to future Bilingual and World Language teachers
2) Protocols so that bilingual and world language teachers complete their student teaching on the job at MPS
3) Examine alternative ways of assessing the language proficiency of bilingual employees and on how to engage DPI on standards for bilingual and related certification
4) Examine the most efficient and effective way to reorganize programs and support systems to advocate and nurture educators for the expansion of bilingualism in MPS
During the November board meeting Administrative Policy 6.33 – Clinical Students, Student Teaching, Student Administrator, Practicum Students, and Field Placement Students, was amended to allow MPS employees to complete their requirements without being required to leave their employment with MPS. The task force began conversations around implementation of this change. Additionally, discussions around the other focus items occurred.
