Ill. Admin. Code tit. 23, § 65.170 - Terms of the Grant
a) In
accordance with Section 21A-25 of the School Code, each school district
shall decide, in conjunction with its exclusive bargaining representative, if
any, which eligible applicant offers the most suitable program. If a mentor
teacher receives release time to support a new teacher, the total workload of
other teachers regularly employed by the public school shall not increase in
any substantial manner. (Section 21A-25(b) of the School
Code)
b) The grantee shall
participate in external reviews and statewide data collection, as determined by
the State Superintendent of Education, to be used to assess the overall
effectiveness of induction and mentoring in the State and to understand the
effects of intensive induction programs on new teacher practice and
effectiveness.
c) The grantee shall
participate in State-provided technical assistance activities and
State-developed trainings related to the use of the Illinois Standards of
Quality and Effectiveness for New Teacher Programs and the Illinois Induction
Program Continuum. (See Appendix A and Appendix B.)
d) Reporting. The grantee shall submit data
and information about the new teacher induction program each year to the State
Superintendent of Education in a format specified by and according to the
timeline set forth by the State Superintendent. The report shall include, at a
minimum, an assessment of the grantee's progress towards meeting any locally
established goals for the program, as set forth in the approved application,
and the number of new teachers and mentors served during the grant
period.
e) Each grantee shall
submit to the State Board of Education by December 31 of each grant year a
final count of the teachers to be served in the new teacher induction program
for the respective grant period. In instances in which the final count is less
than the number of teachers proposed to be served in the approved application,
the State Board of Education shall reduce grant proceeds not yet received by an
amount equal to the difference between the proposed and actual number of
teachers served multiplied by the per-teacher amount awarded pursuant to either
Section
65.160(a) or
(c), as applicable.
