Create: Help us evaluate a tiered teacher licensure proposal in upcoming focus groups
The Citizens League is convening two focus groups to help evaluate a report on tiered teacher licensing, and we'd like your help.
The Minnesota Legislature has established a task force to make recommendations on tiered licensure by the start of the 2012 session.
To help the Citizens League evaluate its position on tiered licensure and articulate the arguments for and against adopting such a system, members are invited to participate in focus groups to analyze the report created by the task force.
The focus groups will be held on the following dates:
- Monday, Feb. 13, 6:00-7:30 p.m. in Minneapolis
- Thursday, Feb. 16, 6:00-7:30 p.m. in St. Paul
If you would like to attend, please register here.
