  5. Docket 08-0201-1301Collective Bargaining This is a rule change in response to the referendum. In previous code, negotiations were held in open meetings and collective bargaining was limited to salaries and benefits. This rule removes the language about open negotiations and limiting collective bargaining to salaries and benefits. • Effective Date: December 13, 2012 • Status: Approved by Senate Education Committee

  7. Docket 08-0202-1202Mathematical Thinking for Instruction (MTI) Waiver This rule would offer a waiver to those educators who are not currently employed or live outside of the state of Idaho from taking the MTI course. The rule also offers a standard three year interim certificate for those educators who move to the state and haven’t taken the MTI course to be certified while they take the course. • Effective Date: Upon sine die • Status: Approved by Senate Education Committee

  8. Docket 08-0202-1203Teacher Leader Standards The Professional Standards Commission recommended the adoption Teacher Leader Standards for Idaho. The recommended standards are grounded in the national work of the Teacher Leadership Exploratory Consortium. The Consortium is made up of a variety of education stakeholders, including union representatives, teachers, school administrators, policy organizations such as Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), and leaders in higher education. • Effective Date: Upon sine die • Status: Approved by Senate Education Committee

  9. Docket 08-0202-1204Literacy and Consulting Teacher Endorsements This rule change provides clarifications to stipulate specific standards by which Idaho institutions must align their educator preparation programs and to add a definition of teacher leader. • Definition of Teacher Leader: A master teacher who facilitates the design and implementation of sustained, intensive, and job-embedded professional learning based on identified student and teacher needs. • Effective Date: Upon sine die • Status: Approved by Senate Education Committee

  10. Docket 08-0203-1202Relationship Abuse and Sexual Assault Prevention This rule will help to ensure that Idaho public schools provide and support a safe environment conducive to learning that promotes healthy relationship skills and opportunities for Idaho students and addresses the growing problem of adolescent relationship abuse and sexual assault in Idaho schools.

  11. Docket 08-0203-1203High School Graduation Requirements Section 33-1627, Idaho Code, which directed the State Board of Education to promulgate rules for an online learning requirement for the class of 2016 and beyond, was repealed through Proposition 3. The rejection of Proposition 3 did not automatically remove the online graduation requirement because the Board set the graduation requirement in administrative rule. However, the State Board of Education chose to remove the requirement for students to take an online course and the associated definitions. • Effective Date: June 21, 2012 • Status: Approved by Senate Education Committee

  12. Docket 08-0203-1204Curricular Material Approval This change to rule allows a more flexible committee for review and a stipulated fee.
