CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION REPORT - Brenneman reported that the State Board of Education adopted the Curriculum Commission’s recommendation of Houghton Mifflin Company and SRA/McGraw Hill as the two K-8 Basic Programs, who are submitting alternate formats in Spanish. Four basic 6-8 programs with ELD components and six 4-8 Reading Intervention programs were adopted. Complete listings are on www.cde.ca gov/ci . AB466 establishes the Math and Professional Development Program by providing $10 million of local assistance funding for staff development linked to standards-based instructional materials. California, along with nine other states, received a Reading Excellence Act (REA) grant award of $60 million for 2000-2003. Ninety-five per cent of the grant must go to Local Reading Improvement sub-grants involving professional development, instructional materials, early intervention, and family literacy and Tutorial Assistance subgrants for tutoring K-3 students with reading difficulties. The Reading/Language Arts Leadership Office also administers the Academic Tutoring Partnership which provides federal Goals 2000 funds to school districts to provide reading/language arts and mathematics programs to students K-12. Reading First State Grants creates a new authority (replacing the Reading Excellence Act) to help states and local education agencies use scientifically based reading research to implement comprehensive reading instsruction in K-3. Reading First is a grant to state agencies rathr than a competitive grant application, adds Targeted Assistance Grant program in 2004 awarding additional funds to states competitively based on significant increases in percentage of third grade students reading at the proficient level and evidence of improving the reading skills of first through third grade students. It is hoped that Support for Secondary Schools I Reading will be funded for Year 3. The extra funding in Year 2 expanded the program to Grade 12. The funding flows to grantees in the 11 California County Superintendents Regions where it is used for professional development in reading with a focus on at risk students. The Literacy for All Networks featured Newark Junior High School in the Newark Unified School District on May 16. The school incorporated best practices across the curriculum including talking to the text, using double entry journals, summarizing, and using schema by recruiting six teachers representing different departments to serve as literacy coaches. The Recommended Literature: Kindergarten through Grade Twelve List is now available on the CDE website (www.cde.ca.gov/ci/literature) in a searchable version. There are over 2700 titles spanning six languages (English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Hmong, Chinese, and Filipino). Each superintendent will receive a complimentary copy, and additional copies are available through the CDE press. A Science/Mathematics list is also under development. SB233 reauthorizes the STAR program and expresses the Legislature’s intent that the standards-based California Standards Tests be given greater emphasis in the future. Grades 2-11 would still be required to take an English/Lanaguage Arts norm referenced test, augmented with standards-based items. No later than 2005 the SBE will look into the feasability of using a shortened version of the norm referenced test in English Language Arts in combination with a stand-alone standards based test. It also directs that the Golden State Exam and California Standards Test be linked in subjects for which both tests exist. ETS has been designated as the STAR contractor for 2003-2005. Approximately 260,000 l0th graders were given the CAHSEE March 5-7 and May 7-9. AB1609 removed the option for 9th graders to take the CAHSEE. A teleconference on struggling older readers and the CAHSEE at the Los Angeles County Office of Education was videotaped and is available with a Viewer’s Guide from Olivia LaBouff at LaBouff Olivia@LACOE.edu. The Governor’s Certificated Staff Performance Incentive Program has been eliminated in this year’s budget cuts. A Six Year Plan for the Development of the API is designed to present probable implementation of the API subject to the Board’s approval for each year’s API. LEGISLATIVE REPORT - Mayfield reported online that pending legislation included AB2120 establishing a professional development block grant to support BTSA, English Language Development Professional Institutes, California Pre-Internship Program, California Subject Matter Projects, California Professional Development Institutes, Math and Reading Professional Institutes, and California Peer Assistance and Review Program for Teachers; AB1781consolidating four existing instructional and library materials programs into a single block grant; AB2160 sponsored by CTA and expanding the scope of collective bargaining; and AB2347 requiring the SBE to contract with an entity to develop, host, and maintain a longitudinal pupil development data system. Signed legislation includes a school bond package (AB16) to fund classroom and school library construction and upgrade aging campuses ETS is the next standardized testing program contractor for three years beginning in 2002. ETS is the current state contractor for CAHSEE. The Three Year Plan for the development of California’s Assessment System has six principles: focus on the mastery of state content standards, conforming to rigorous technical standards, being the core of the state testing and accountability system, national comparison data on student achievement, coordination of other state assessments with the STAR, making state assessment results useful to school administrators, teachers, parents, and students. REPORTS OF LIAISONS CALIFORNIA ENGLISH - Jago reported online that response to the April issue of California English on accelerating achievement for English language learners has been tremendous.

Background: With Board authorization, Past President Luby convened a telephonic conference of past CATE Presidents (Barton, Infantino, Lucas, Fristrom) and Hemric to consider the timelines and logistics of the Awards process. The preliminary suggestions were considered during our February meeting, but action was deferred to this meeting. Purpose: The changes are intended to make the process more “open” and more “timely,” so that nominees can be selected far enough ahead of the convention to allow their award to be publicized as part of the convention program. Joseph moved and P. Fristrom seconded approval of changes to Policy 10.3 so that it now reads: 5. Nominations may come from the CATE Board of Directors, the CATE council committees, or by petition from 20 CATE members. In addition, on June 1 of each year, all past presidents will be invited by the current past president to submit nominees. Nominations must be received by the September Board meeting. Nominations must include full information on the nominee, a list of noteworthy accomplishments at the local, state, and national levels prepared by the nominator, and a letter of recommendation from those making the nomination. The letter should particularly address the leadership and service to the profession that the nominee has provided. 6. All names submitted will be considered during the September meeting by a special subcommittee of three to five members of the current Board of Directors, chaired by the current Past President. The subcommittee will select the nominee(s) which they deem qualified by the current policy and criteria (10.3.1 and 10.3.2 above). 7. Those selected in September will be notified that they have been nominated and asked to submit biographical information to the Past President by early November. 8. The Past President will then convene the Awards Committee (Policy 10.1), which will select the awardee by November 20, and present its selection to the CATE Board of Directors by mail or at the December Board meeting. Additionally, in recognition of unique circumstances, the Awards Committee may also occasionally recommend that a special Career Achievement Award be presented to a second person whose qualification criteria emphasize leadership outside of the specific CATE organization. MOTION PASSED.Statements 10.3.1, 2, 3,4,9 10 remain as is. See also the proposed Past President’s Nomination Form (originally submitted in February).
