TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, RELATING TO ASSISTING, DEVELOPING, AND EVALUATING PROFESSIONAL TEACHING (ADEPT), DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 2483, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Department of Education, relating to assisting, developing, and evaluating professional teaching (ADEPT), designated as Regulation Document Number 2483, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
In 1998, the State Board of Education adopted regulations implementing ADEPT. Comments were received from educators during the pilot year (1997-98) and the first year of full implementation (1998-99). The State Board of Education is proposing amendments to the regulation that address the following concerns expressed by educators:
(1) add flexibility to the evaluation requirements for teachers employed from out of state;
(2) add specifications for the composition of evaluation teams; and
(3) specify a date for notifying continuing contract teachers of a recommendation for formal evaluation.
